Test case

On our website we make extensive use of gadgets, using inline frames (iframe for IE, object for other browsers).
In one situation people can download data in a PDF, we do this by using http-equiv refresh to a php file that provides the PDF.

In normal situations the PDF is downloaded just fine and the webpage does not change. But when this is done inside a frame, using the <object> tag, we encounter a problem in Webkit (Chrome and Safari). After the PDF has been downloaded, the frame is then malformed for some reason and the old content is not shown anymore. When an iframe (or a plain page) is used instead of the object tag everything works fine.

A test-case can be found here: http://armeagle.nl/wdft/

Should more headers be specified to make this work in WebKit, or is this actually a bug?
