Hi,
Thanks for the suggestions. I've found that if I set the following, then the
correct File Download dialog appears
response.setHeader("Pragma", "");
response.setHeader("Expires", "");

Ed
My experience is that the majority of Microsoft programs (IE) default to
saving contents to %USERPROFILE% folder
I would suggest using fully qualified pathname
%TOMCAT_HOME%\\webapps\\testDownload\\TextDownloadByOctectStreamWithoutForwa
rd.txt
(instead of relative path..)
Anyone else?
