Downloaded octet-stream then encoding as pdf; can't get line endings worked out -


tools i'm using this:

chrome notepad++ sublime text 3 fiddler winmerge adobe acrobat reader x

synopsis

i have downloaded pdf twice, once through chrome experimental control; once again through raw /get request via fiddler returns me octet-stream. point, can save octet-stream pdf , can proper page count , of page headers , numbers, little of body content loading. when open file in adobe reader x, error it

cannot extract embedded font 'lfidth+arialmt'. characters may not display or print correctly

and cannot work through why can extracted 'true' pdf cannot 1 saving.

details

as manual pull of file, have provided

accept: application/pdf, application/x-pdf, application/x-gzpdf, application/x-bzpdf

the server sent me aplication/octet-stream attachment disposition.

so recap:

  1. valid foo.pdf sitting on hard drive
  2. http response octet-stream version of same file, in utf-8 encoding (i assume)

here know:

i pulled message body of response server , dropped file. ran winmerge comparison of against contents of pdf , every line mismatched on line endings. re-encoded eols unix , diff shrank ~1k lines out of 160k. close inspection of mismatch indicates valid pdf maintains looks nul 00 character in places whereas octet-stream contains literal spaces. also, "true" pdf reporting eol: lf 1252 mixed through winmerge. "raw" pdf reporting 1252 unix when homogenize 'true' pdf 1252 unix, same issue explained in 'raw' one.

is there can mess of octet-stream straightened out?

note pdf downloaded through chrome historic. have on machine, downloaded "sometime in past" , request headers used when processing /get no longer available. attempting download through browser "now" results in error, explicit request against resource through fiddler returning pdf octet-stream.

well now....

in fiddler session,

right click http response application/octet-stream body | save | response | response body

if content-disposition: attachment;filename has been set on response, file save dialog prepopulated filename

easy after know it's there.
