Edge download pdf as txt

[alisonv]

When using web Dynpro and downloading a PDF file throw Microsoft Edge the file is saving as .TXT. PDF download works fine with Chrome and Firefox. Why does Edge save a PDF as .TXT? Is there a fix for this?

Here is the code:

cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(
exporting
      i_filename  = lv_file_name
      i_content   = ls_anexo-attachment_bin
      i_mime_type = 'pdf'
      i_in_new_window = abap_false
      i_inplace = abap_false ).

What if you use the classic MIME type for PDF files?

      i_mime_type = 'application/pdf'

Thank a lot for the assistance
The issue may be caused by changing the NWBC engine from Chromium to edge.

When fixing the MIME, we used the central function SDOK_MIMETYPE_GET to get the correct MIMETYPE ('application/pdf) instead of PDF
