Cannot get my pdf rendered - Django, HTMX and Nginx with X-Accel-Redirect header

Just as an off-the-cuff reaction to this, I don’t think you want to add these headers to your response:

@anrudolph

            response["X-Accel-Redirect"] = claim.pdf.url
            response["Content-Type"] = "application/pdf"
            response["Content-Disposition"] = "inline"

I believe you want your HTMX response to only be:

@anrudolph

            response = HttpResponse('<iframe src="{{ claim.pdf.url }}" allowfullscreen frameborder="0"></iframe>')

Which should then allow the iframe tag to retrieve the PDF as part of its normal processing. It’s the request generated by the iframe that needs to yield a response containing the pdf content type.
