Christopher,
I have tried setStatus (I actually did that first). I've also tried
flush/close on the response as well as several other variations. Nothing
I've tried has a different result. Currently the method I'm having to use is
to send back a page which immediately goes back to the previous page :-(
yuk.
This is why I was trying to write a test prog to view the entire response
(another question I sent to the list a few days ago), I was trying to see
*exactly* what response was being sent for this servlet.
Its good to see that I'm not completely up the wrong path :-) 204 *seemed*
to be exactly what I needed.
