asp.net mvc 3 - Chrome, pdf display, Duplicate headers received from the server

Question

I have a section on a website where I display a pdf inside a light box. The recent chrome upgrade has broken this displaying:

Error 349 (net::ERR_RESPONSE_HEADERS_MULTIPLE_CONTENT_DISPOSITION): Multiple Content-Disposition headers received. This is disallowed to protect against HTTP response-splitting attacks.

This still works correctly in IE.

I'm using ASP.NET MVC3 on IIS6

The code I use to generate the file is as follows.

If I remove the inline statement then the file downloads, however that breaks the lightbox functionality.

Problem Code

public FileResult PrintServices()
{
    //... unrelated code removed
    MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
    pdfRenderer.PdfDocument.Save(memoryStream);
    string filename = "ServicesSummary.pdf";

    Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;");

    return File(memoryStream.ToArray(), "application/pdf", filename);
}

---

The Fix

Remove

Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "inline;");

Then Change

return File(memoryStream.ToArray(), "application/pdf", filename);

to

return File(memoryStream.ToArray(), "application/pdf");

Answer 1

The solution above is fine if you don't need to specify the filename, but we wanted to keep the filename default specified for the user.

Our solution ended up being the filename itself as it contained some commas. I did a replace on the commas with "" and the file now delivers the document as expected in Chrome.

FileName = FileName.Replace(",", "")

Response.ContentType = "application/pdf"
Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" & FileName)    
Response.BinaryWrite(myPDF)
