Re: Own layouts and content-type

well, it seems like it is possible to do from a controller action:
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/controllers/request-response.html?highlight=response

$this->response->type($file['type']);
$this->response->download($file['name']);
$this->response->body($file['content']);
$this->response->send();

but if the layout itself could do that, it would be nice, too.
does it have access to the response?

the only other way would be a specific PdfView, I guess.
But that I really want to avoid. Otherwise I end up with hundreds of
of Views
containing the same code except for the different content-type...

a layout used to be the best solution so far:

<?php
$charset = Configure::read('App.encoding');
header('Content-Type: application/pdf; charset=' . $charset);
echo $content_for_layout;
?>
