I did some debugging using firebug - Here is what is happening : When I choose HTML report there is a POST (posts form data - essentially filters selected by user) followed by GET (actual HTML page is returned from the template) But when I choose PDF report - I don't see any POST/GET in the firebug. (But PDF is indeed returned to the browser) Now that form is in weird state, if I click Submit one more time, I get POST, GET and another POST in firebug, but user doesn't see anything.
Do I need to return 200-OK (equivalent) when I return PDF data via appreport ?
