There might be a problem with this code:

[tag op=header]
Content-Type: application/pdf
[/tag][file content/something.pdf]

I am guessing that there will be one byte appended
when creating the file with an editor (appended newline).
There are ways to strip the appending newline:

	perl -0777 -pi 'chomp' pages/deliver_pdf.html
