my code requires that a servlet be called as a POST and supply some parameters for generating the pdf file. the code that actually returns the pdf from the servlet looks like:
[code]
byte[] pdf;
try
{
pdf = runReports (lots, of, parameters, go, here);
}
catch (DocumentException de)
{
throw new ServletException(de.getMessage());
}
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
response.setContentLength(pdf.length);
ServletOutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
out.write(pdf);
out.close();[/code]
and the response from the server looks like:
[code]

[/code]
Everything looks fine, but IE will not show the pdf in the browser. If AcrobatReader is configured to not show PDFs in the browser, all is well.
I've read the FAQ and this looks to conform to those suggestions.
The interesting thing is that the exact same code running on my local server works with no problems (different dataset, so the content is a different size).
It's response looks like:
[code]
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Thu, 06 Nov 2003 18:52:04 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) mod_ssl/2.8.12 OpenSSL/0.9.6b DAV/1.0.2 PHP/4.1.2 mod_perl/1.26 mod_jk/1.1.0
Content-Length: 2097
Connection: close
Content-Type: application/pdf
%PDF-1.4
-- pdf content clipped --
%%EOF
[/code]
So, maybe it's one of the additional headers added by the borland app server that's causing IE the problems?
Set-Cookie: Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT Pragma: No-cache Cache-Control: no-cache
any IE gurus out there have any idea if one of these headers is confusing IE?
