How show a .PDF directly in a new tab - El Forum - 12-07-2008

With HTML, its trivial :
http://mysite.com/document/invoice/081002.pdf
But, for security reasons, the file is not under http, but somewhere upper, like here :
Code:
...
privatefiles/invoices/081002.pdf
...
www
...
mysite
...I based my download helper on CI donwload helper by placing
MY_download_helper.php in system/applcation/helpers
In this file, I changed in the force_download function "attachment" by "inline" in the following line :
Code:
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="'.$filename.'"');But FireFox (or IE) still asks me if I want to see the file or download it, and then only shows it in a new window.
Is there a way with CI to have the file open directly in a new tab by just one click?

Malsup Juery Media Plugin
this should work as a tab option

Thank for your answer.
Finally, I found easier to rely on the "natural" mechanism of the browsers by copying the file temporarily to a random subdir under www
