Hi List! I've got a big problem to solve.
On a windows server I installed an acutal jsdk and tomcat 4.1. Now I developed a jsp-Servlet that sets it's content-type to "application/pdf" and only writes pdf-data out. If I run this on my testserver with tomcat 4.0 (debian/linux) everything runs fine and Internet Explorer is able to open the pdf. But if I merge to the production server (tomcat 4.1/win 2k3) (<- not my choice :) ) and try to acces the exact same page I get a funny error! Internet Explorer tells me to save the file to disc! It took me a long time to figure out that the only difference is in the headers! => The Linux Machine wirtes: Content-Type: application/pdf => The Windows Machine wirtes: C ontent-Type: application/pdf;charset=ISO-8859-1 Because of this additional charset Internet Explorer is no longer able to start the pdf-Viewer and display the file inline. Attached are some snips from the code: --SNIP-- // response.setHeader("Content-disposition","inline; filename=generated.pdf"); // response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache"); // response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); // response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-store" ); // response.setDateHeader("Expires", -1); // response.setHeader("Content-Type","application/pdf" ); response.setContentType( "application/pdf" ); --SNAP-- This shows some different options I tried -> Somewhere on the web it was mentioned that IE had problems with caches and so on... The second last line resulted in two Content-Type headers, but I set the Content-Type nowhere else in the JSP! --SNIP-- ByteArrayOutputStream buffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); ... // we output the writer as bytes to the response output response.setContentLength(buffer.size()); ServletOutputStream output = response.getOutputStream(); buffer.writeTo(output); output.flush(); --SNAP-- buffer is my byte-buffer where the raw pdf resides. Can somebody help me how I can disable or suppress this charset-stuff? Or if you have some ideas, just mention them! Thanks in advance!
