Fusebox 3 and <cfcontent>

[ryanrat]

Hello all,
I'm trying to use <cfcontent> to display a PDF file in a fusebox 3 application. Instead of the PDF displaying in the browser, it prompts me to download the index.cfm file, which is actually the PDF just renamed to index.cfm. Does anyone know of a way around this?

This will either open the pdf file in IE if the plugin is pdf installed or prompt to download file as myFileName.pdf

[URL unfurl="true"]http://url/index.cfm/[/URL]

myFileName.pdf - tleish

I would prefer to not web share the directory containing the PDF's for security reasons.

tleish is correct. By putting the filename after the call to the .cfm file that generatest the cfcontent it will force the browser to save it with the filename.

Check out this KB article on some other ways to do it as well.
