Earlier versions of IE were known to sometimes disregard the Content-Type (which you set correctly to application/pdf) and look at the suffix of the URL instead. For instance, they would render HTML if you served a .html as text/plain, etc. You may try creating URLs that end with .pdf Separately, you're not sending a Content-Length header: HTTP request sent, awaiting response...
