With respect to text/plain sent by Apache: This is due to: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/en/mod/core.html#defaulttype So setting DefaultType none in Apache should put you into the same browser auto-detect situation than when talking to Tomcat directly (assuming minimal version Apache 2.2.7). In fact for the forthcoming Apache 2.4 the default has been switched to none :) Regards, Rainer --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
