Use 'wget -s' or 'telnet URL 80' to request the servlet, and a static
PDF file, using HTTP. And compare the response headers. Investigate
the differences. There has to be a difference, right?
To simulate IE5.5 more, you can capture the IE5.5's request header from
inside the servlet. Both telnet and wget give you ways to specify
request headers.
(wget is part of the Cygwin package for Windows. It's Red Hat's
(formerly Cygnus's) POSIX emulation library + a lot more. Get it from
http://cygwin.com . It is also a GNU tool, available for all UNIX
platforms, usually come with Linux distributions. A Google search get's
you to the source.)
