Description

Is there a way to use an IBlobProvider to return a non-image file such as a PDF to the browser? I have set one up to read varbinary(max) from our SQL server and it works well displaying and resizing images but non-image documents do not appear to be working. It would be great if I could expand our IBlobProvider to handle those as well.

Thanks!
Greg

Research direction

Start by tracing the IBlobProvider entry point and the response path for the existing SQL varbinary(max) image handling. Reproduce the behavior with a PDF or other non-image file and determine what response behavior is currently supported. Done means a non-image blob can be returned to the browser without breaking image handling.
