I am not using it with all the app server you mentioned but in my mimetype string is "application/octet-stream" and it works. However, it also doing the double request like you mentioned. When you find out why it's doing that, please post.
Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Summers, Bert W. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 11, 2004 1:55 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Streaming pdf document fails I have a problem that just came up. I have PDF documents located out side of my webapps directory. When the user wants one they go to my servlet which streams it back. This use to work just fine, but now is broke. In IE I get Error opening document on TC4.1.30 and unable to open this Internet site in TC 5.0.19 Mozilla 1.6 does not have a problem opening the file. What is odd is that Mozilla seems to request the servlet twice from one click, the first tends to throw this ClientAbortException: java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: socket write error at org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.OutputBuffer.realWriteBytes(OutputBuffer.java:410) at org.apache.tomcat.util.buf.ByteChunk.append(ByteChunk.java:332) at org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.OutputBuffer.writeBytes(OutputBuffer.java:438) at org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.OutputBuffer.write(OutputBuffer.java:425) at org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteOutputStream.write(CoyoteOutputStream.java:1 08) at GetPDFDoc.outputFile(GetPDFDoc.java:128) at GetPDFDoc.processRequest(GetPDFDoc.java:86) at GetPDFDoc.doGet(GetPDFDoc.java:147) Is there anything wrong with what I am doing? response.setContentType("application/pdf"); response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0); // open pdf outside of browser response.addHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + ntspNo + ".pdf"); response.setContentLength((int)f.length()); java.io.OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream(); // f is the pdf on the file system and it does exist java.io.FileInputStream in = new java.io.FileInputStream(f); int size = 0; byte[] buffer = new byte[8192]; while( (size = in.read(buffer, 0, buffer.length)) != -1) { out.write(buffer, 0, size); } in.close(); out.close(); Thanks ***************************** This communication may contain information that is proprietary, privileged, confidential or legally exempt from disclosure.
