[SOLVED] cannot open PDF in iOS "add to homescreen" WiseJ web app

If a WiseJ site is run as a “add to homescreen” iOS app, when I serve a PDF I cannot get it to launch in the Safari external browser. As a result, the PDF shows, but there is no navigation back (because it is full screen), and the app must be manually closed and restarted.

 

I tried using the DownloadAndOpen() function, specifying “_blank” (no go, but does display a pop-up warning) and “_system”, which is supposed to launch in the system external browser.

 

Does DownloadAndOpen(target As String, stream As Stream, fileName As String) supposed the “_system” target?

 

thank you

The target name can be anything and it’s entirely up to the browser. Wisej simply passes it to window.open(url, target);
