Scenario:
Iam trying to read and write an excel sheet from a server to a client. I have 
to read the excel from a DBserver & workflow server (which is not the same from 
tomcat server and has a firewall between them.) So making a http conn from 
servlet engine server. 
I know that in the url Iam getting a valid excel file ( coz from the server 
where it was written to by another process I can open it).

Reading a stream from Http (via a httpurlconnection.getinputstream()). 
This iam writing to the response : like below..

response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
InputStream in= httpurlconnection.getInputStream();
POIFSFileSystem fs= new POIFSFileSystem(in);
HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook();
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
wb.write(out);
out.close();

When I execute, Iam getting the below error.. Could someone please help ?? This 
is stopping our dev for the customer. What am I doing wrong or should do 
differently?
