We have been experiencing this problem with JRun. We have an applet that
talks to a servlet and it broke with jrun 2.3. A call to tech support
shedded some light. They said we had to set the content type in our
servlet to something other than urlencoded. We changed it to octet-stream
and it works exactly twice then something in JRun reverts it.
We did not have this problem with 2.2 and don't have it with any other
servlet runner we have tested.
