Note that it is a problem with IE only, wherein IE can't handle no-cache cache directives, and Tomcat only sets these headers when serving content from a protected context. Also, if you're using other than form authentication, you need to substitute the class name for your authenticator in the <valve> configuration described below.

I found the solution! Posting here to save other people the problems I had in finding this:
Put this in your server.xml (or conf/Catatlina/localhost/*.xml) file:
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator" disableProxyCaching="false" />

Subject Cannot download files with IE through tomcat. SSL with no-cache problems?
On Apache Tomcat/5.0.28, I've got SLL installed, and whenever I try to download a doc file I get:
Some files can harm your computer. If the file information below looks suspicious, or you do not fully trust the source, do not open or save this file File name: xxxxx.doc File type: Microsoft Word Document From: yyyyyyy.ibm.com Open Save Cancel More Info
I click Open and then the folloing file download dialog comes up:
Internet Explorer cannot download xxxx.doc from yyyyy.ibm.com
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet Site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be
found. Please try again later.
OK
Downloading works fine in FireFox.
Downloading works fine if I turn off SSL.
We have an apache server (full httpd server) inhouse where this type of SSL download works fine too.
Is there a SSL no-cache setting I have to put in server.xml or something?
Thanks
...Don...
