It works as far as hiding the real URL of the PDF but it doesnot allow a &quot;Save Target As&quot; dialogue box in IE which is what I need - there is no way of saving this file as a PDF from IE to a local machine as the only options from &quot;File&gt;Save As&quot; are HTML or TEXT. <br />
<br />
Any ideas?

Is there some code to prompt IE4 to show a dialogue box to allow Saving of a PDF file that is dynamically served, rather than from a link. I want the equivalent of right-clicking a text link on IE to be prompted on a transparent download so that the URL remains hidden.<br />

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
