I don't have any type of PDF verification tools, but the PDF I generate
_looks_ okay in the browser window. Additionally, if I don't set the content
type, the PDF content is sent to me as an HTTP dowload. The file generated
thus opens in both Adobe Acrobat Reader and Ghostscript just fine.
Having said all that, I don't think the problem is with the PDF. I think
the problem has to do with the header sent when I tell the browser "Here
comes PDF content". Consider the following:
//On a SSL servlet...
class Test {
doGet (HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws IOException,
ServletException {
//Here's ALL it takes to generate the error...
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
}
}
No PDF content, no servlet errors, nothing. Heck, the servlet example
doesn't even _do_ anything. Just "Please let me send you PDF"- and up pops
the error. Interestingly enough, the final PDF content (in the real
servlet) _looks_ exactly the same on the client end regardless of whether I
select yes or no in the dialog box.
I'm on the verge of sniffing the traffic between server and client and
encoding the results of "setContentType" by hand in the
ByteArrayOutputStream to see what happens. I have a feeling that Tomcat is
sending the header information in clear text when I set the content type. I
was hoping someone had already done the legwork.
I'd be interested in any more thoughts.
