The problem is probably that the server sets the content-type to be the
image/jpeg, which the browser then automatically assumes it is meant to
display. If you find that you would prefer to directly save this without
any screen display, you could write a servlet which serves the image in
question after setting the content type to be something the browser is quite
unlikely to recognize (for example, image/SAVEIT). Unfortunately, this
means
that the user will have to know in advance that the file is of type Jpeg in
order
to select an appropriate suffix for the file to be saved.
