Here is an additional piece of info I have just noticed: IE is doing a GET claiming to be HTTP/1.1, whereas Communicator is doing a GET claiming to be HTTP/1.0. The string being sent via the GET is about 250 characters long.

The behavior does not happen under Netscape Communicator 4.51. Any help on where to even begin looking would be greatly appreciated! Configuration: WinNT 4.0, SVP4 MSVC5.0 Apache 1.3.6 ApacheJServ 1.0b4 (Given that I could not find an apachecore.lib and ApacheModuleJServ.dll, it was painful to install 1.0b4, and I had to build from the latest versions of the files rather than those that came in Apache-JServ-1.0b4.tar.gz. I wonder how others have done the same?) Upon receiving a GET, my servlet can either send back "text/html" content or "application/pdf" content, depending on the input parameters. With Netscape Communicator 4.51, the right thing happens, i.e., when I send back the PDF, the Acrobat Viewer is fired up within Netscape and the file is displayed. My problem comes under IE4.0 and IE5.0 when sending back PDFs. Here are the facts: * Sending back "text/html" works fine. * Under an earlier version of Apache (1.3.4) and ApacheJServ (1.0b3), Acrobat Exchange would be launched, but Acrobat would hang with the Task Manager showing Acrobat "not responding" and showing 100% CPU usage until the Acrobat application was killed. As before, "text/html" worked fine. * Under Apache 1.3.6/ApacheJServ 1.0b4, for each submit, i.e., GET, there are THREE, count'em THREE, executions of my servlet, and three GETs showing up in access.log! The output file is then shown. (Actually,I am not sure which of the three output files is actually being served to Acrobat.) * As I said before, under Netscape Communicator 4.51, the servlet runs as expected, with one GET showing up in access.log and my servlet running only once. Ideas????? Thanks very much, Jeff Finger ------------------------------------------------------------ To subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Problems?: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
