Gary Is this a relatively simply task; if so, could you outline the steps required - if not, perhaps you could point to a resource for learning how to do this.
Thanks Derek PS Any idea if this can be done via Tomcat or Jetty? >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004/10/21 08:20:24 PM >>> We continue to experience problems with static content such as PDF documents, Word files, and some images going through Cocoon. We have started using the redirect directive in Apache so that all PDF documents are served directly through Apache and avoid sending PDF documents through Cocoon. This has solved our PDF problems in IE. We are in the process of implementing this for all static files, PDF Word, images etc. Cocoon will handle transformation of XHTML content in our web publishing system template, Apache will serve all static content. There is a noticeable performance increase when serving static files through Apache instead of Cocoon. Gary T. Schultz Web Administrator / GIS Coordinator Wisconsin Department of Commerce 201 W.

If you don't use anything which can be mistaken as an extension, IEx uses the content-type to decide what to do with the content. If you've got a dot in the last component of the URL, it depends whether the string after the last dot is a a registered file extension in the Windows registry. There's still the problem that the content may be retrieved twice or even three times. > has Cocoon some workaround for this or does it have the same problem? Cocoon's mapping mechanism makes it is easy to use URLs ending in .pdf for PDF content.
