internet explorer - Chrome, not rendering pdf file without extension

Question

I have this situation that is little bit hard to explain. I have this url that ends in this format of www..../samplePDF.HTM when I open the url in Internet Explorer, it reads the page as pdf (it doesnt care about the extension of .HTM), however when I open the same url in Chrome it wont render and just show me random symbols, like it cant encrypt it. is there away to have the chrome render the content and recognize the url as a PDF file. I cant change the url to samplePDF.PDF ... but if I save it locally and rename the url to "samplePDF.PDF" I can open it as pdf on my computer. I just need to be able to open it on the chrome. Thanks for the help in advance.

Dude first of all, this question shouldn't posted here. StackOverflow is for programming issues, it should be posted on SuperUser.

Second,from what I understood from your question, this depends on how each browser render the file. I think an extension for chrome could solve the problem. Try to install this extension
