Internet Explorer Not Opening Attachments Correctly-double window issue [#103164]

This all deals with the same issue: IE is picky about WHAT headers it gets for files and the ORDER of those headers.

In this case, 2 windows appear with the document in both.

This has been tested on:
IE/XP with Office 2003
FF/XP with Office 2003
FF/Linux

hosted on Apache2/PHP4.3/Drupal 5.02beta on Centos 4.4

Enjoy!

Bah, my last message got deleted. Anyways, the patch needs some work. It adds back stuff that we removed in one issue above and some other stuff that's probably unneeded. I stripped down the headers to the bare bones and it looks like this makes PDFs behave EXACTLY the same in public/private files (open up in the current window).

I used web-sniffer.net to see what headers are sent for a public PDF and it looked like just Content-Length and Content-Type were the relevant headers and no name was used for Content-Type (which was causing errors with IE6 when the filename had spaces in it). None of the other stuff. So let's work up from this point to see if any other headers are truly needed for private files.

Please test this out on a variety of private files and maybe this is enough.
