The inability to view PDF files over a secure connection is a blocker for any financial institution that provides confidential customer information/reports via PDF files over a secure connection. This bug blocks any such institution from supporting Mozilla/Netscape 6.

The problem only occurs on Win32 at least if you have copied the Adobe Reader plugin from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 4.0\Reader\browser\nppdf32.dll into the bin\plugins directory. Without the nppdf32.dll in plugins, the default plugin handler will invoke an external copy of Acrobat Reader which will download and view the PDF over HTTPS. Here is an example PDF on an HTTPS connection: https://bubblegum/bclary/DOM2-Events.pdf (sorry that it is behind the firewall).

same as bug http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54689 .
