how to use jquery mobile asp.net mvc 4 to download and display pdf memory stream data -

i have desktop/mobile web app needs display pdf stream on target device. have working on desktop using jquery dialog. mobile tho...my html view page has next link:

<a href="@url.action("pdfview", new { id = @paystub.paystub_id})">view pdf</a>

and correctly takes me controller action:

public actionresult pdfview(string id = "") { paystubdataentity ps = paystubaccess.getpaystubbyid(new guid(id), new guid(session["session_application_userid"].tostring())); webhelper.setheadersfordownload(system.web.httpcontext.current.response, "application/pdf", "paystub.pdf", false); memorystream pdfmemorystream = sendpaystubtobrowseraspdf(ps); //webhelper.sendfile(system.web.httpcontext.current.response, "application/pdf", "paystub.pdf", false, pdfmemorystream); homecoming file(pdfmemorystream, "application/pdf"); }

but nil ever shows on iphone emulator (electric plum). no error messages. not sure output s/b going or how view it? ideas appreciated.

we have same issue android phones , there can 2 issues going on. if website uses ssl , phone on not take valid ssl, downloading pdf in manager, never completes download. sec issue file sending phone needs named in order download phone.

ex: homecoming file(pdfmemorystream, "application/pdf", filedownloadname:"paystub.pdf");

i suggest using google chrome phone emulation. when alter settings, behave phone , can debug easily. example, when set google chrome mobile phone user agent android 4.0.2, download pdf, instead of displaying within web browser. when that, know working locally. has iphone emulation.
