Then you need to change the code. This is viewing code that we use. It depends on the browser sice IE does it different then other browsers.
Be aware chrome/chromium do not work this way, they always download.

Browsers use different tactics to show a file. And besides that, the client must be able to derive the filetype so for windows for example the file viewer should be installed properly.
