Inertia : PDF raw printed after login page

Hi all,

I want to add a link in an email to get a pdf created "on the fly" by my app (Laravel 10 + Inertia + vue3). The route for this request is in the AUTH part, therefore after a click in the email the user is first redirect to the login form. After a successfull identification Laravel forward to the previous request but at this moment the PDF content is raw printed in a modal instead of showing the pdf in a browser tab. On the other hand if the user has already an opened session before the click (no need login form), the pdf download works like a charm.

I think it is because of the content-type not set correctly when laravel forward the previous request after correct login but I have no idea how to correct this. Would you have any ?

I use barryvdh/laravel-dompdf lib and here is the code of the pdf creation in the controler :

/**
 * Get catalogue PDF
 */
public function download(Vente $vente)
{
    $pdf = app('dompdf.wrapper');
    $pdf->loadView('ventes/catalogue', [
        'vente' =>  $vente->load('vehicules.pays'),
        'title' => 'Catalogue' . $vente->libelle
    ])->setPaper('A4', 'landscape');
    return $pdf->stream('catalogue-vente-' . $vente->libelle . '.pdf');
}

Thanks in advance for your advices

Posting here in case someone like me has the same problem.

The way I solved it is to do another redirect in my controller code, for example:

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Inertia\Inertia;

public function download(Request $request)
{
		if ($request->header(Header::INERTIA)) {
        		return Inertia::location(url()->current());
		}

        //...

        return $pdf->stream('download.pdf');
}
