Disable "Content-Disposition: attachment" and force inline display

15

2

Websites which use Content-Disposition: attachment force me to download the document which I dislike.

For example I want to print out the invoices of my ISP for taxation purposes. Their stupid website forces me to download twelve PDF files like 5834886-1_104679449.pdf. These clutter up my download folder. Even worse if the link is not informative enough and I need to check the document by opening it.

How can I disable Content-Disposition:attachment and force my browser to use inline display of the PDF? If I want to save the file, I can do it from the browser menu or press Control/CommandS.

I am using Google Chrome on OS X, but I would like to have a generic solution working for all browsers and operating systems, if possible.

This is currently a "won't fix" issue in the Chromium issue tracker: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=67643 Using one of the linked Chrome extensions is probably the only solution to this, for now.

Not a generic solution, but for those looking for a Firefox solution there is an addon called Inline Disposition.
