I was just running your program using doGet. It is working fine
even if I changed the name of the file as test.xml. It is working
fine. Go to http://euler.mcs.utulsa.edu:8001/servlet/content
and check it yourself. It is giving the line. I did not understand
what actually you wanted to do. Sometimes browsers have extra
setting for .xml files. I worked with .xml files and sometimes they
show them with the markups in the browser window, sometimes they
show nothing but if you see the source you can see the file is
there. I do not know the answer.
If you want somebody to download a file. You can create a link
with the full servlet execute path as I have given above. And
if they shift+click it should go to download option. I never did
this but it is my intuition that it will work that way.
Sorry I do not knwo any better answer. Wait for somebody else's
response.
(I have to close the 8001 posrt quickly for other work, if you want
you can see now)
Thanks
Sandip
