using xpdf to open pdf files from galeon

[Shri Shrikumar <shri@urbyte.com>]

Hi,

Can anyone point me in the right direction to be able to open pdf files
directly from galeon using xpdf instead of the default(gv) because the
default just shows a blank page.

I installed plugger at some point. Here is the relevant part from
/etc/pluggerrc-4.0

application/pdf: pdf: PDF file
application/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
#       repeat swallow(documentShell) fill: acroread -geometry
+9000+9000 -xrm '*userFrontEndProgram: FALSE' "$file"
#       repeat swallow(gv) fill: gv -safer -quiet -antialias -geometry
+9000+9000 "$file" 2>/dev/null
        repeat swallow(xpdf) fill: xpdf -g +9000+9000 -err "$file"


In the Settings->Preferences->Handlers->MIME Types section in Galeon,
there seems to be three settings for pdf as below

application/pdf    	Run with helper		xpdf -q %s	True
text/pdf		Ask the User		none		False
text/x-pdf		Ask the user		none		False

How would I even go about troubleshooting this - How can I find out what
application is being used or even what type Galeon thinks the file is. I
have tried 

% telnet www.whatever.com 80
...
GET /index.pdf

but that only returns the PDF itself - no headers with Content-Type.

Any help in this is appreciated.

Regards,



Shri
