hihi all,
i'm having an obscure problem relating to the display of regular plain
.txt files hosted withing Tomcat.
on Tomcat 4.1 links to .txt files would diplay within the browser and
the text files would preserve the text formatting (ie. spaces)
*because* the text file contents would be displayed in plain text font
(ie. fixed-width font)
however in Tomcat 5.5 links to the same .txt files would also display
within the browser, but the formatting is stripped because the text
file contents are being displayed in a non-fixed width font (looks like
courier true type) and all the spaces are stripped away.
i'm using the same browser to test. and the only difference is the
Tomcat version difference.
does anyone know why this is happening? and more importantly how to
fix it so that .txt files are displayed using fixed-width fonts in
Tomcat 5.5? (i suspect it's the way Tomcat is telling the browser what
type of file it's sending back... some kind of header info.. but i'm
not sure how to go about debugging this)
thx in advance,
woodchuck
