I'm not to familiar with the "fitting content type", you maybe show me a clip of sample code? Does this then return the file as a bytestream or something? Also, because this new servlet I will have made will only be reference with some servlet mapping in the web.xml file, will the still work in hosted mode?
As for using the RPC servlet, I don't see how doGet solves my problem. How is it fundamentally different form the doPost method used the the RPC? And I what I need to know is even if i did use either of these methods, on a high level, how does the file get passed from the server to the client? I would feel comfortable diving right into either these without at least having a vague understanding of what was happening.
