Here is the request and response headers

http://www.example.com/get/pdf

Basically, the response headers are sent by DOMPDF's stream() method.

In Firefox, the file is prompted as File #1.pdf. However, in Safari, the file is saved as File #1.pdf.html.

Does anyone know why Safari is appending the html extension to the filename?
