That is why I asked what the client program was. The original poster did not
provide enough problem description to give any sort of complete answer.
Note that the client program *does* matter:
* Netscape tends to pay attention to the content type, but you can configure
how it handles each different type -- two different Netscape browsers that
access even the same server can behave differently.
* IE tends to ignore the content type and try to figure out what the data is
by examining the first few bytes.
* Both browsers have different behaviors in different versions.
* None of the above probably matters, because browser are going to have
no clue what to do with serialized Java objects anyway -- only Java applets
or Java client programs would find that sort of thing useful.
