This is what tcptrace tells me is being sent back to the browser HTTP/1.1 200 OK Pragma: No-cache Cache-Control: no-cache Expires: Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT Content-disposition: attachment; filename=N77-NTSP-E-70-0203.pdf Content-Type: application/pdf Content-Length: 443928 Date: Tue, 11 May 2004 19:29:37 GMT Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
If I remove the Content-disposition then the PDF opens in the browser ok, but that is not what I want. Secondly Mozilla still asks for the file twice and gets it, but only displays one of them. -----Original Message----- From: Christoph Meier [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2004 12:28 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Streaming pdf document fails As far as i remeber, IE wants to know the content-length to show a PDF. => put the appopriate content-length into your Response-Header, ensure to have set the right content-type and i would expect that the PDF-stream should work then for IE, too. _christoph >I have a problem that just came up.
