Rob,
I have servlets that send much larger html pages to the client with no
problem. I convert the stringbuffer to a string before sending it
though. Here is the code.
String strHTML = buf.toString();
toClient.println(strHTML); //Write out the HTML that was built
toClient.close(); // Close the writer
I would guess that you have a html error in your file. A good testing
tool is to use the "view source" from within the browser and then copy
and paste the html into a tool like frontpage. It should help you find
the html error.
