I meant 3.2.2...sorry never put my hands into 3.3 series. Consider two situations of serving .exe files. First I have no tomcat working alongside IIS 5.0. When I place the exe file in the web-folder, a request for the exe file would be responded to by the exe file right?(I dont think that was eloquent explanation...every one know that!)
Now when I have tomcat installed I configured it so that only calls to jsp pages are handled by tomcat and all static pages by IIS. Now when I make for an exe file the file I dont get prompted for a download. After a few minutes, my event log shows an error saying that the script from URL /*.exe has not responded within the configured the timeout period. So it was terminated! Does that mean that instead of serving the page to the user the webserver is executing it on the server itself? Also, why would this same request work with IIS w/o tomcat?
