Actually, I'm beginning to think this is a Tomcat bug - even though I'm not
getting much action in the Tomcat user's mailing list.
I replied something similar to Dave Ferguson via this list, but that reply
doesn't seem to have gone through. Consider the following code:
//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 think I'm going to roll up my sleeves and see if I can't find the bug in
Tomcat. I have a development box that has Apache web server running my SSL,
and the exact same servlet doesn't have any problems there. Yet, when I run
the servlet on a box where Tomcat is standalone, and Tomcat provides SSL,
the servlet has problems. I think Tomcat is sending the header in clear
text on the SSL page.
