Hi,
I'm trying to allow my users to download a password protected zip file
from a link in an email but I keep being told the zip file is corrupt
when I do even though I know it's not.
It's using standard tomcat form authentication, if you go to the front
page of the site and login normally and then right click on the link and
select "save target as" (or "save link as" in firefox) it works fine.
If you just click on the link to open the file in firefox, it works ok.
If you do the same thing in IE, you get an empty archive.
However if you move the same file to an area outside of the protected
area, everything works fine.
When I attempt to try the same thing with other file types, e.g. pdf, it
opens in the browser or downloads fine regardless of whether it's within
the protected area or not. If it is in the protected area, the user is
redirected to the login page first, as one would expect.
I have already tried adding the following to my web.xml without any
luck:
<mime-mapping>
<extension>zip</extension>
<mime-type>application/zip</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kevin
