Yes! Thank you William, it worked perfect first time. As you suggested, I simply used an extension of SVG on my servlet alias to fool IE - I can stick my hair back on now after pulling it all out yesterday!

This might work for SVG by creating a GetSVGServlet.class which has a xtract.svg Alias ??? Bill -----Original Message----- From: Graham, Billy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 12:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MIME types for SVG servlet Hi, I'm fairly new to the field of servlet, web and SVG programming so my question may be basic - but it's still causing me much grief at the moment. I have searched the archives of this group and the W3C web site but can't find an answer. I know my problem isn't strictly to do with servlets but is closely related, so I hope someone can help! My problem is... I am wanting to send SVG from a web server (I'm using a Java Servlet) to a client browser (MSIE5.5) and have it display as a graphic. Currently it is displaying in IE as an hierarchical XML tree-structure. Can I cure this problem by setting the MIME type sent from the servlet to another setting (currently I'm using "image/svg+xml" as defined on the W3C site)? The SVG I'm sending via the web server displays OK as an SVG image when simply saved in a text file (with a ".SVG" extension), i.e. when I double-click on this text file it opens up in MSIE and the SVG displays OK. Any suggestions would be most useful. Many thanks. Billy. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff SERVLET-INTEREST".
