This is apparently due to a fundamental design flaw in IEx. It first tries to derive the MIME type of the content of a URL from the URL itself. If this doesn't work, it uses the content-type header just loaded and loads the URL again. Determining the MIME type from the URL has its own quirks. Preferably the URL ends in .pdf. If your servlet invocation path doesn't end in .pdf, add a dummy parameter with the value .pdf at the end. It is said that URLs like the following would be handled properly http://some.host/some/path/file.pdf http://some.host/some/path/stuff.asp?param=value&dummy=.pdf HTH J.Pietschmann --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
