Peter,
Are you sending your data on the fly or are you collecting the data in a
buffer and then sending the data to the browser? The term "buffer" is used
very loosely. I use a ByteArrayOutputStream to write data to. Once I'm
finished building the page, I set the content length to the number of bytes
in the ByteArrayOutputStream, and write the Stream to the browser. This has
eliminated most page reception problems for me.
It is my understanding and experience that IE 4.x is a little buggy in the
area of receiving html data when the content-length has not been explicitly
set.
Hope this helps.
Brian
PS - On the other hand, IE may see that you're using an Apache web server
and drop the connection every once and a while for the heck of it. I
haven't experienced any particularly buggy connections to Apache/JServ
through IE4.

Subject: Re: Servlet output got truncated in IE but not Netscape. Why?
Yup!
Both source HTML are the same.
BTW I'm running the servlet on a Linux RH 5.2 Apache 1.3.6 with ApacheJServ
1.0b5.
There was a suggestion that it could be the servlet engine (ApacheJServ)
thats
incompatible with
IE4. Could this be true ? If yes, considering the number of apache web
servers
out there, I rarely get
truncation errors like these when going to sites with servlets.
Anyone experienced this truncation error when using ApacheJServ with the
Apache
web server?
Pls shed some info, as I would like to avoid going to all 24 PCs (I just
hate
to barge into peoples office - especially
the managers') in our network just to install Netscape (all client
machines are Windows98 connected via Samba to the Linux server)
