send_file, pdf and inline option. Can't display in browser

hey all

i'm trying to send a pdf to the browser, to display inline, like this:

        send_file("#{RAILS_ROOT}/tmp/#{filename}",             :filename => filename, :disposition => "inline")

But, it keeps coming through as a downloadable attachment rather than being shown in the browser. I don't think it's my firefox settings because when i go to other pages that have pdf links then they're shown inline, eg

Can anyone see the problem?

thanks max
