I don't catch it.

The opened file is your own script, so the open is always true.
When I test the code, the pdf I download is the script itself...
The content-type header is good.
The Content-Disposition doesn't seem to make any attachement.
And I can't figure out why.

Anyway the 404 test should be -f "/the/path/to/the/pdf/file.pdf"

Or am I missing something ?

Hello my friend ;-) Nice to see an answer from you !

No. My _base.epl (EMBPERL_OBJECT_BASE) is being called for every
.pdf file. This is part of my apache2 conf :

[...]
EMBPERL_OBJECT_BASE base.epl
<FilesMatch "\.(pdf|html)$">
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Embperl::Object
Options ExecCGI
</FilesMatch>
[...]

This way, every .pdf file to be transmitted to the user gets
called via my script. So I'm sure *every* *single* pdf download
in the site gets logged. And it's completely transparent for the
user : no popup, normal link, no javascript, no forgotten pdf : a dream.

After hours of investigations, it seems firefox was having strange
behaviour when WebDeveloper extension had the "Disable cache"
checked. It was like permanent, even ctrl-F5 would not refresh.

Now it's working fine. Will put in prod tomorrow. You know the
address for ecm... If you want to have a look. I can send you
the complete source (and apache config) if you like.

Thanks for your help anyway, cu!
