====== lighttpd force pdf download ======
In lighttpd, to disable PDF opening in browser, add following config files in //lighttpd.conf//. This is useful in increasing CTR as browsers usually get stuck while loading PDF files.

  $HTTP["url"] =~ "(.*)\.pdf" {
  mimetype.assign = (".pdf" =>"application/octet-stream")
  setenv.add-response-header = ( "Content-Disposition" => "attachment" )
  }

Dont forget to enable setenv module, if not already done …

  server.modules += ( "mod_setenv" )

  service lighttpd reload
