Are you using the same client between the two servers? IE seems to consider itself more important than mimetypes, and if it sees a file extension it recognises it treats it as it deems fit, regardless of the mimetype. So one possibility is that you have just installed excel or something on the client, and IE is redirecting the download there.
another option is that the mimetype being sent in tomcat 4.0 is different to 3.x, but I'm not sure about this, so will let someone else answer this option. if you outline exactly what client/server you were using before, and now, it will make the question more specific. for intsance, tc3.2 on windows with a win98 client with IE4.0 and now using tc4.0 on linux with a win2k client with IE5.0. cheers dim On Wed, 24 Oct 2001, Evan Swanson wrote: > > I wrote an application that for Tomcat 3.2 running on window.
