Fetch and PDF

[Thunderstone]

I would like to Fetch a pdf file and then
present it on the screen inside the adobe plug-in.

Can this be done?

When you say present it on the screen, I assume you mean send it back
to the user's web browser to display. So it would ultimately appear as
if the PDF from another webserver came directly from your server.

Use something like

<fetch THEPDFURL>
<fmt "%s" $ret>

You just need to use the ".pdf" extension instead of ".html" on your
texis url to get the mime type set correctly. If you're using the main
function with no extension, you'll need to use the <header> command so
set the correct mime type. See

<header name="Content-Type" value="application/pdf">
