Possible Evince -> Mozplugger Bug?

[Gord Busse <gordo bussefamily net>]

Greetings,

First of all I would like to thank the developers for such a great
product. I use it on my Ubuntu desktop to view PDF files all the time
now as it is very fast and I appreciate all of the features.
Unfortunately though, I am having a problem using it to view some PDF
files in Firefox via Mozplugger. Most PDF files work fine except for the
following situation.

Before I explain in detail I just want to say that I have tested this
with Acrobat Reader 5 Plugin, Acrobat Reader 7 Plugin. XPDF and GPDF in
Ubuntu Hoary (5.04). I am running the latest version of Evince available
to me in Ubuntu which is version 0.1.9.

Ok, now a little background. I have created a secure web based PDF
document viewing application using PHP. By secure I mean the users have
to log into the application via a preset account before they can view
any of the PDF documents. All PDF documents are stored outsite the web
accessible directories and when requested by a logged in user are then
passed through to the browser via a PHP script with the appropriate
application/pdf headers added.

As I mentioned before when accessing these documents with Acrobat Reader
5 plugin, Acrobat Reader 7 plugin, XPDF or GPDF via Mozplugger the
documents display correctly embedded in the corresponding application
embedded into Firefox via Mozplugger. 

But, when I try to access the documents using Evince embedded into
Firefox via Mozplugger I receive the following error dialog from Evince:

Unable to open document
Unhandled MIME type: 'application/x-php'

I have tried various configurations in Mozplugger and my PHP code and I
am convinced, since it works fine in all of the other applications that
this must be a bug with Evince?

Anyways, if anyone is interested here is the configuration from my
mozpluggerrc file:

application/pdf: pdf: PDF file
application/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/pdf: pdf: PDF file
text/x-pdf: pdf: PDF file
                repeat noisy swallow(evince) file: evince "$file"

And here is the actual snippet of PHP code that passes the file through
to the browser:

function ShowDocument()
{
    $document = DOCUMENT_STORAGE_DIR."/".$this->documentPreviewFilename;
    header("Content-Type: application/pdf");
    header("Content-Length: " . filesize($document));
    header('Content-Disposition: inline;
filename="'.$this->documentPreviewFilename.'"');
    readfile($document);
}

So, for now I am using Evince to view documents on my desktop and GPDF
to view documents via Firefox/Mozplugger. Hopefully this issue with
Evince will get figured out some time as given its speed and superior
interface I would really love to just use it and nothing else.

Thanks again,
Gord
