Rails - Aug 2009 - send_file, pdf and inline option. Can't display in browser

hey all

i''m trying to send a pdf to the browser, to display inline, like this:

        send_file("#{RAILS_ROOT}/tmp/#{filename}",
            :filename => filename, :disposition => "inline")

But, it keeps coming through as a downloadable attachment rather than
being shown in the browser.  I don''t think it''s my firefox
settings
because when i go to other pages that have pdf links then they''re shown
inline, eg

http://www.thefms.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/fms-programme_lr.pdf

Can anyone see the problem?

thanks
max

Try supplying the content type

yeah - i was just about to post this :)

Never mind, i didn''t set the type - it works with this option added:

       :type => "application/pdf"
