Given the intention of delivering content to an HTTP user agent (such
as Internet Explorer) which is to be immediately opened by an
associated application,
You should rather leave this decision to the reader, i.e. open
in browser or open in another program.
Assuming that by "reader" you mean the user of the UA, then I probably
should have specified that my post concerns an intranet web
application which provides both a download and an open button, and the
question regards how the CGI behind the open button structures its
HTTP headers. The application is required to store data in encrypted
format and not use any temporary files to decrypt data for web
availability; therefore it must deliver data inline directly from the
standard output of openssl.
Specifically as regards Internet
Explorer, I've tried both inline and the specific filename extension
(xls,csv,pdf,doc,...)
There are no "filename extensions" on the web. There is only
"Content-Type".
I am referring to "extension-token" as described by RFC 2183 which
governs the Content-Disposition header. Granted it was written with
email attachments in mind; however, unless I am mistaken, use of the
Content-Disposition header in HTTP also conforms to this standard.
