I have two servlets that cooperate. The first servlet get's an request, does some processing and after sends a plain html page to the browser. The generated html file contains a image link which points to the secods servlet. The second servlet should normaly accept the request from the browser and send a binary image back to the requesting browser. Everything works fine with Netscape, but with Internet Expoler there is a sligh differece. Internet Expoler normaly sends a request to the second servlet in the chain asking the image. The servlet tries to send the image for the first time, but not succsefully (I get the following exception while trying to write to the OutputStream : java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort). After the exception, Internet Explorer notices that the socket has been closed and then tries again. On the second attempt the servlet manages to send the image! Does anyone have any idea, why this is happening ?
