Content type for jsp/html files
Hi. I've want to make a servlet that can display the source of any jsp/html file (not the rendered one). Basically my code is like this: *set content type to text/plain *get PrintWriter object out *get the fileobject as an inputstream *write to the out object *flush/close The code is working fine, but viewing the servlet execution in a browser, the content type is set to text/html which means that all tags are not displayed (hidden). How can I override this behavior. If I read a text file everything works fine. But if the file begins with an html tag, the contenttype is set to text/html. Is this a browser problem? - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Totally! With context type set to text/plain is not going to provent IE doing something on its own. The sure fix is to replace all the with lt;. -Original Message- From: Antonio Fiol Bonnín [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 24, 2004 12:41 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Content type for jsp/html files Johan Wallinder wrote: Hi.

Re: Content type for jsp/html files
Johan, If the purpose is just to see the code, then you can parse the stream and replace each of the symbols with a substitute. This will cause the browser to see everything as plain text. Parse the stream. If character equals then replace with lt; If character equals then replace with gt; With this your code will display correctly on the screen.

RE: Content type for jsp/html files
I've already done that. But than I was thinking. Isn't there an easier way to display plan text files by setting the content type (and not encode the content). -Original Message- From: Parsons Technical Services [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: den 24 februari 2004 23:28 To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Content type for jsp/html files Johan, If the purpose is just to see the code, then you can parse the stream and replace each of the symbols with a substitute.

Re: Content type for jsp/html files
Yes, if all browsers played fair and treated thing properly. But IE and some others have a mind of there own. They have been written to handle sloppy code and thus often don't follow the rules. Thus we are often forced to work around them.
