I tried that setContentType and fileInputStream solution, but ran into
two problems. First, when I download an Excel file and load the downloaded
file in Excel, it doesn't load in properly. I'm guessing there's some data
transfer problem. Second, the first time I try to download, IE blocks the
download. If I download it a second time, it seems to work.
A solution with the anchor tag would work the best if possible because
the data is good, and the download is fast.

Hello,
I've encountered a bug with the 4.1.31 version of Tomcat. Apparently, when
I use an anchor tag for a file, and I click on the link, it does not show the
file download message "Do you want to open or save this file?" with the open
and save options. Instead, it displays the file in the browser. I know you
could normally save this information from the browser to a file, but I
need it
to show the download message because it's easier for users to save their
file. I'm using Internet Explorer version 6, SP2. I've also tried setting
the "Confirm open after download" check box for file types to no avail. It
use to work in Tomcat 4.1.18.
