Could it be that the old files are already cached by the browser? Try clearing the browser's cache, and put some logging in your filter so you can see if the filter is actually executed when you request a file. -- Len

I am using a filter to set the content type and header to to force downloading of linked files, so that they open with their registered app instead of within IE. I am doing this with the following code: response.setContentType("application/octet-stream"); response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=" + fileName); It is working great for files uploaded to the server after the changes. But files uploaded before the changes are still either opening in the web browser using the apps plugin or displaying directly in the web browser usually as jumbled binary. I was wondering why this is happening? I thought the filter was to apply at run time, so when the file is being downloaded, and thus should open as the newly upload files do. Thanks for the help.
