2nd Post: ContentType Is Always Null

[Anthony W . Marino]

Redhat 7 with kernel 2.42; TomCat/ServletApi 4 Build2001-05-04) - please note 
that I've also tried this on TC4b1 as well as TC4b3 in standalone mode with 
all exhibiting the same results.

The following request url (as well as all other valid urls) always returns 
null for contentType:
   http://localhost:8080/xyz/servlet/ViewResource/index.html

******************* Some code within doGet method **********************

    // Get the resource to view
    URL url = null;
    try {
      url = getServletContext().getResource(req.getPathInfo());   
    }
    catch (IOException e) {
      ....
      return;
    }
 
    // Connect to the resource
    URLConnection con = url.openConnection();
    con.connect();  
    // con.getURL() returns jndi:/localhost/xyz/index.html
 
    // Get and set the type of the resource
    String contentType = con.getContentType();  // This returns null
    res.setContentType(contentType);

Any suggestions?

Thank You,
Anthony
