Strange... I have identical code and it works IE and FireFox.
This is how write it out into the response stream
// set up the response header with the content type, the file name and
// the file size
//
res.setContentType("application/zip");
res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" +
file.getName());
res.setHeader("Content-Length", String.valueOf(file.length()));
// create a URL object for the tmp file, create the input stream from
// the URL
//
URL url = getServletContext().getResource(filename);
input = new BufferedInputStream(url.openStream());
// read from the file, write to the servlet output stream
//
byte[] buff = new byte[1024];
int bytesRead;
while (-1 != (bytesRead = input.read(buff, 0, buff.length))) {
output.write(buff, 0, bytesRead);
}
The only difference I can see is how I use lowercase but I don't see why
that should make any difference.

Subject: Internet Explorer and Content-Type
I have a servlet that generates data that I want to write to the client's
browser. This data is just ASCII text. The problem that I am running into
is that Internet Explorer's "Save As" window defaults the filename to the
name of my servlet. Firefox/Netscape will save the file as the filename
that I specify in the Content-Type HTTP header.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Here is the code that I am currently using:
response.setContentType("text/xyz" );
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "Attachment;
filename=\"blah.xyz\"");
Thank you.
