Hello everyone!
I'm using smf 2.0.11
I turned on attachments in forum and it all works fine, but pdf file wont downloaded from phones or ipad using chrome browser. In safari it's all wroks fine. Also in chrome console get message "Resource interpreted as Document but transferred with MIME type application/octet-stream" when downloaded from pc.
Will be grateful for any suggestions!

The first thing I'd do is patch up to version 2.0.13 and then try it. Looking at Google this seems to be a common issue.
DO NOT pm me for support!

The issue is that the server is telling the browser that it is a binary file and should just download it (because the alternative streaming behaviour may not work) and Chrome assumes it should just ignore it beyond that.

Fixing this is annoying because I think it is actually specific to Chrome on iPad.

There is a fix I have in mind but I'm wary of mentioning it because it can affect security in a bad way.
