As far as I know, that is a problem with Internet Explorer closing the socket prematurely on an http request. Try hitting your servlet or JSP with a java.net.URL object and see if you get the same error. Also try with Netscape. My guess is that this "bug" is just how tomcat deals with clients that don't talk to it "properly". Perhaps tomcat should just swallow this exception and not report it.
Hope this helps! -Mike Jennings ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2001 7:21 AM Subject: Tomcat3.2.2 bug...? > Hello Apache / Cortexity: > > > I am a software engineer that works as an Enterprise Support Specialist at > MapInfo Corporation, which > is located in the United States of America.
