Readers, DatabaseReader, and MimeTypes

["Kist, Paul" <pa...@merck.com>]

I am having an issue concerning Mime-Types and the DatabaseReader (and
readers in general)
I am trying to read PDFs from a database, as well as from the file system,
and in both cases, the PDF gets streamed into the browser, and Acrobat is
not being launched.   For some reason the correct mime-type is not being
recognized by (or maybe even sent to) the browser.

I checked the cocoon source, and it doesn't seem as if any specific
mime-type is being sent to the browser.  Is there something that I am
overlooking.  I've gone through practically every list, and I haven't come
across anyone with a similar problem.  

My web.xml is configured so unknown mime types would be accepted by the
browser as "application/octet-stream" which would trigger a "Save/Open"
dialogue box, but that isn't happening either.


Here is my pipeline for the database reader:

        <map:match pattern="*/securedoc/**.pdf">
          <map:read type="databasereader" src="{2}"
mime-type="application/pdf">
            <map:parameter name="table" value="my_table"/>
            <map:parameter name="image" value="my_column"/>
            <map:parameter name="key" value="file_name"/> 
            <map:parameter name="content-type" value="application/pdf"/>
          </map:read>
        </map:match>
    
Here is my pipeline for the 
        
          <map:match pattern="*/pdfdoc/**.pdf">
              <map:read src="pdf/UserGuide.pdf" mime-type="application/pdf">
              </map:read>
        </map:match>

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
