I installed tomcat 7.0.29 from the Apache website. I had issues

I googled a little bit and some people suggested to downgrade to
7.0.26. But still having issues with it under IE while it works
under Firefox and Chrome.

Any ideas?

Your question is "I had an app that was working and then I upgraded
and it doesn't work. What might be the problem?".

Well, the problem might be that the power isn't connected to your
server. But you haven't provided any information that suggests what
"had issues downloading PDFs from IE" means. What issues? What did you
try? What happened when you did that? What have you attempted to do so
far to "fix" the "issue" and what have you discovered?

We are having what sounds like a similar problem (although 7.0.26 works for us) 
and can provide our details.

We are using Solaris 10, Tomcat 7.0.26, Apache/2.2.16, mod_jk/1.2.35 and 
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_30-b12) in our production 
environment. We are using the same except for the latest Tomcat 7.0.29 in our 
test environment.

Recently one of our testers found that when using IE8 against our test 
environment she could not download PDFs (available as links on web pages) and 
would instead see the error "A network error occurred while accessing this 
document on the Internet" but it worked fine on the older Tomcat in production. 
 Indeed if I roll our testing environment back to Tomcat 7.0.26, this problem 
does not occur.  It also doesn't occur in any other browser we tried (IE9, 
FireFox 14.0.1 and Safari 5.1.7).

I had remembered that something similar had been discussed on this list, but 
the archived thread looks like it went stale when it couldn't be reproduced:
PDF Download problem tomcat >= 7.0.27 
(http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/tomcat-users/201207.mbox/%3CCAC=HunuF5zqKf5s_D9syTZ1J2nFXdCjEWKj=zq+hc8bgnn1...@mail.gmail.com%3E)

A good portion of our visitors use IE8 with the 9.5.1 Adobe Reader and we have 
a number of PDF documents available for download so I'm hoping perhaps our 
different configuration to the ones previously reported might eventually lead 
to a fix.

Thank you,
-Kari
