When I call the response.sendRedirect() function from a Java Bean I get
a response that already has data in it, the only problem
is that the response shouldn't have any data in it already. I have a
function call before anything is written to the output buffer
that determines if this page should call a response.sendRedirect().
The weird thing is that only IE has the data that shouldn't be returned
in the html page (from the "view source" option). Netscape doesn't have
the garbage data when I "view source".
What is going on here?
