Hi, We're wanting a servlet request to return a generic file for download. In Java, we use the following code:
public ActionForward myAction(ActionMapping mapping, ActionForm form, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception { ... response.setContentType("application/download"); response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=\"" + "myfilename" + "\""); response.setContentLength(ret.length()); PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter(); writer.write(ret); writer.flush(); ... return null; } This would work with Tomcat's HTTP interface as well as mod_jk, but with mod_proxy_ajp, we get an "Error downloading page" from the browser and the following in the logs: [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] mod_proxy_ajp.c(239): proxy: APR_BUCKET_IS_EOS [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] mod_proxy_ajp.c(244): proxy: data to read (max 8186 at 4) [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] mod_proxy_ajp.c(259): proxy: got 0 bytes of data [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] ajp_header.c(652): ajp_read_header: ajp_ilink_received 04 [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] ajp_header.c(662): ajp_parse_type: got 04 [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] ajp_header.c(491): ajp_unmarshal_response: status = 200 [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] ajp_header.c(502): ajp_unmarshal_response: Number of headers is = 6 [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] ajp_header.c(564): ajp_unmarshal_response: Header[0] [Pragma] = [No-cache] [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] ajp_header.c(564): ajp_unmarshal_response: Header[1] [Cache-Control] = [no-cache] [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] ajp_header.c(564): ajp_unmarshal_response: Header[2] [Expires] = [Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT] [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] ajp_header.c(564): ajp_unmarshal_response: Header[3] [Content-Disposition] = [attachment;filename="myfilename"] [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] ajp_header.c(564): ajp_unmarshal_response: Header[4] [Content-Type] = [application/download;charset=ISO-8859-1] [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] ajp_header.c(574): ajp_unmarshal_response: ap_set_content_type done [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] ajp_header.c(564): ajp_unmarshal_response: Header[5] [Content-Length] = [67] [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] ajp_header.c(652): ajp_read_header: ajp_ilink_received 03 [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] ajp_header.c(662): ajp_parse_type: got 03 [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] ajp_header.c(652): ajp_read_header: ajp_ilink_received 05 [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] ajp_header.c(662): ajp_parse_type: got 05 [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] mod_proxy_ajp.c(498): proxy: got response from 10.0.0.1:8009 (server1) [Tue Jul 15 16:47:35 2008] [debug] proxy_util.c(2062): proxy: AJP: has released connection for (server1) Bug?
