Hi.
I've want to make a servlet that can display the source of any jsp/html
file (not the rendered one).
Basically my code is like this:
*set content type to text/plain
*get PrintWriter object out
*get the fileobject as an inputstream *write to the out object
*flush/close
The code is working fine, but viewing the servlet execution in a browser, the content type is set to text/html which means that all tags are not displayed (hidden).
How can I override this behavior. If I read a text file everything works
fine. But if the file begins with an <html> tag, the contenttype is set
to text/html. Is this a browser problem?
I'm afraid Internet Explorer is willing to play with you. ;-)
Try adding "nonsense.txt" to your URL, as in:
http://path/to/your/resource?nonsense.txt
IE has a horrible MIME behaviour. Live with it, or trash IE ;-)
