Yes, OutputStream worked properly.

Okay. True, it doesn't hurt to be tidy.

I may add it. But DefaultServlet will never know about it. It will
continue to first call getOutputStream() and handle the exception by
calling getWriter().

I don't understand where I should call getResponse().flushBuffer().
In HttpResponseCatcher.flushBuffer(), as above?

Yes, that's true. The latter might be implemented in terms of the
former. As the length is already known when calling, the call can also
be made to the real method straight away.

Sure, time permitting. :-)

Yes, I'll resubmit it to your scrutiny when it's ready ...
Thanks for all the help.
