Mike Using the CVS version made it 'better' ... wget seemed to reliably get all the file. But I was still having intermittent problems when using a browser. The browser problems seemed to go away if I put a dummy query string on the end of the URL, e.g. http://server/something.pdf?a=a That's with IE6, haven't tried it elsewhere
Sorry about the use of the word seemed , but then it's an intermittent problem :-? However, other bits of the CVS version functioned differently from release 2.0.1, (see my separate message) so I had to abandon it for now for my own purposes. I ended up defining a new tomcat context (in config/server.xml) to serve the pdf files, which seems (there's that word again) fine.
