Hi. I've been writing a servlet recently that outputs data to the browser and to a file using the POST method. When doing do, Netscape Communicator 4.5 and MS explorer 3.02 gave an error of the kind "connection has been reset". I'm testing with servletrunner. After a lot of time banging my head against the walls I found that a way to correct this was using setContentLength with the length of the string being returned to the browser. A search thru the list archives confirmed this. My questions is the following: why do I get the error message with MS IE and Communicator but I don't get it with Netscape Gold (In fact, the servlet under NS Gold works perfectly)? And another thing, from my experiments with servletrunner and vqserver (a java based web server), and what I read in the archives, it appears that this problem is bound to servletrunner. Is this true? If I use another server and not servletrunner would the setcontentlength still be needed? Well, this has been an awfully long posting, so if you've read to this point, thank you. If you can give any information on this, I will appreciate it a lot. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
