This is from something over a year ago, so I guess it was IE 5.0.X or IE 5.5, and whatever was the version of Acrobat then. (I did not test in on Mozilla/Netscape).

I'm invoking a servlet through the showDocument() method in my Applet. The doGet() method of the servlet generates a pdf file and writes it to the OutputStream. - In the Visual Age Websphere test environment, the file loads correctly in my browser, although often the doGet method is invoked twice (and the file is sent to the browser only after the second invocation). - Using Webshpere 3.5.5, the servlet completes its execution and then I get the 'File Download' dialog. Clicking on either 'Save As...' or 'Open' I get a download error of site unavailable. I've tried using both "Content-disposition","inline" and "Content-disposition","attachment; file=xxx.pdf" I'm using response.setContentType("application/pdf"), setting the content length and flushing the outputstream. I'm testing this with Internet Explorer 5.5 Any help much appreciated.
