Hi,
I need to return HTTP 500 from servlet along with some usable data,
but Tomcat (4.0 m4&5) adds its own data.
Here is my code fragment:
resp.setStatus (resp.SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
resp.setContentType ("text/xml");
Writer wrt=resp.getWriter ();
wrt.write (message);
wrt.close ();
If this is used, Tomcat returns:
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Content-Type: text/xml
Date: Wed, 27 Dec 2000 13:41:07 GMT
Transfer-Encoding: chunked
Server: Apache Tomcat/4.0-dev (HTTP/1.1 Connector)
2d3
text...
0
<html>
HTML informing about internal server error
</html>
If wrt.close () is omitted, chunked text and HTML are reversed in
milestone 4, milestone 5 omits my text completely. In this case
HttpURLConnection class hangs - probably expected chunk length but got
<html>...
How can I tell Tomcat not to include its own message about error
(that HTML)?
