Objet : Problem sending .exe file through servlet to client
> I am trying to send an installAnywhere exe file through a servlet to a client
> machine. The file is sent but once it is downloaded to the client's machine, you
> get the following InstallAnywhere error, "There was no compressed file in this
> executable. Please get another copy of the installer and try again." Should I be
> treating this type of file as a zip file? The file on the client is 1KB smaller
> than the one on our server. Here is the code that I am using:
>
> System.out.println("Starting...");
> File file = new File("/installfile.exe");
> BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(
> response.getOutputStream() );
>
> response.setContentType( "application/zip" );
> response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=\"" +
> file.getName() + "\"");
>
> BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream( new FileInputStream(
> file ) );
> int c;
> while( ( c = in.read() ) != -1 ) out.write( c );
> in.close(); in = null;
> System.out.println("Finished.");
>
> As far as content type, I have also tried application/application,
> application/binary, application/unknow. Has anybody had any experiences similar to
> this? I would be grateful for any help.

> Thanks.
