There are two basic issues here:
* You have to use binary output (i.e. response.getOutputStream()) to
write a binary file without corruption. You are tryping to use a
PrintWriter for this.
* According to the JSP spec, you are not allowed to access the
binary output stream (or the writer, for that matter) directly. In
particular, you will have problems with IllegalStateExceptions
and extra CR/LF characters.
Therefore, you should set up a servlet to do the binary responses, rather than
trying to do them in a JSP page.
