Thanks Wolfgang - I did even more digging and testing, and I think I found a viable lead in finding out why this is happening. I used the "lynx -head -dump URL" command for both straight to Jetty and through my mod_proxy setup. Sure enough, the content-length header is removed when going through mod_proxy. So I did a search on mod_proxy removing the content-length header and I found this thread: http://www.issociate.de/board/post/4392/Apache_proxy_serving_M$-junk.html. Turns out that the problem was not fixed past the 2.0.46 version, which also happens to be the latest version that is on RedHat Linux Enterprise 3, the OS we have installed on the server. I think in a later, yet-unleased version 2.0.55 a fix to this problem is applied according to the truck CHANGES file, but that doesn't help the current situation. I wish there were an easy answer to this one - we may have to serve all PDF files from the Apache document root without mod_proxy to have downloads that work in MSIE/Acrobat... unless of course someone else has some suggestions. Thanks! Jon
