<?php
http_send_content_disposition("document.pdf", true);
http_send_content_type("application/pdf");
http_throttle(0.1, 2048);
http_send_file("../report.pdf");
?>
None of the function above works with pecl_http 2.3 , I kept on getting Fatal error: Call to undefined function http_send_content_disposition() in xxxxxxx , I dont know ,but maybe its a bug in php 5.4 with centos 6.4 , The solution was just simple, I removed pecl_http 2.3 and installed Pecl_http package to 1.7.6 using the command below :
pecl remove pecl_http
pecl install http://pecl.php.net/get/pecl_http-1.7.6.tgz
http_send_file
(PECL pecl_http >= 0.1.0)
http_send_file — Send file
Description
bool http_send_file
( string
$file
)Sends a file with support for (multiple) range requests.
This functions behaviour and further action is dependent on the following INI settings: http.send.not_found_404 and http.log.not_found.
If the INI setting http.send.not_found_404
is enabled and the INI setting http.log.not_found
points to a writable file, a log message is written when the file was not found.
Parameters
-
file -
the file to send
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Examples
Example #1 A http_send_file() example
<?php
http_send_content_disposition("document.pdf", true);
http_send_content_type("application/pdf");
http_throttle(0.1, 2048);
http_send_file("../report.pdf");
?>
The above example will output:
HTTP/1.1 206 Partial Content X-Powered-By: PHP/5.2.2 Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 12345 Content-Range: bytes 0-12344 Content-Type: application/pdf Content-Disposition: inline; filename="document.pdf" %PDF...

This function does not work together nicely with output buffering (ob_start etc.). If you get memory allocation errors, it probably means that you have got output buffering turned on and you should turn off output buffering.

Above mentioned example is for version 1.
If you want an working example for v2 see devel-m6w6.rhcloud.com/mdref/http/Env/Response/setContentDisposition
Because windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/http/ stores only v2 versions, all http plugin related function pages at php.net/manual/en/book.http.php should contain the following with big red bloody font:
THIS IS DOCUMENTATION FOR V1 WHICH WE DO NOT SUPPORT ANYMORE. SEE devel-m6w6.rhcloud.com/mdref/http FOR UPDATED DOCUMENTATION. Note: Functions are available by clicking subelements under http at tree which is positioned at right top position.
