[mapserver-users] How to get my Browser to open a Mapserver map with outputformat=pdf?

I have a Map file with and Outputformat = PDF defined:
OUTPUTFORMAT
NAME pdf
MIMETYPE "application/x-pdf"
IMAGEMODE RGBA
DRIVER pdf
EXTENSION "pdf"
FORMATOPTION "TRANSPARENT=ON"
TRANSPARENT ON
#FORMATOPTION "OUTPUT_TYPE=RASTER" ##not mandatory
END
I call the map by sending a URL from OpenLayers:
http://10.65.192.1/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/service/gsstmpdf.map&mode=map&layers=nz50ktm+main_gates&MINX=1471766&MINY=5119253&MAXX=1475952&MAXY=5123406&mapsize=1200+1200&map.outputformat=pdf
Just wondering how I can get the Browser to automatically open the returned PDF in a new window, as the file returned from Mapserver is called mapserv.exe?
At the moment I have to download it to disk, then change its name to a PDF extension, then open it with Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Many thanks,
Robert
