Subject: Weird error using file download


I got a very weird error and here is the situation:

The app I used: tomcat 4.06, phoenix web browser 0.3, ie6.0

Here is the problem:

When I set up an application in tomcat (with BASIC AUTHEN), phoenix could
download all binary files (.exe, .pdf, etc...) fine from Tomcat server.
Then I tested with IE6.0, and I got error (server could not find the file
or something). However, IE6.0 could download text file ok without any
problem. Ok, so I came back and delete the file index.html in the
application, and I can download the file fine. Isn't this strange?

But that's not all yet. I want to serve files using a servlet wraper.
Basically send back the binary with the right content type.
Mozilla/phoenix can download without any problem. But IE6.0 complain with
the same error before. So, somehow the index.html file and the servlet
have something in common that make IE not working while it works without
the index.html and statically.

Well, want another strange thing? I could not find anyone complain about
this, or even ask any question about this in newsgroup or apache site.
And I can produce consistently using different machine.

Anyone have any idea? Is it Apache Tomcat or IE error? Or both? Or it's
me?

I am sure Tomcat can be changed to work, since statically served page
works. And I am sure IE can be changed to work, since Mozilla works all
the time.

Actually, I found any article in the newsgroup on Google with a similar
error, but very different situation (IIS server). And the problem is in
the expiration of a page. If some page has instant expiration, then IE6
has problem getting it. It could be the same problem. Coudl someone help
me out here since IE has 95% of the market share?

Thank you very much in advance.

Vy
