Re: Redirecting to a PDF file

Hello David,

This is actually not a Barracuda issue.  If you read the servlet spec,
you will find that the contents of WEB-INF are directly publicly
viewable.  You would need to either redirect to a servlet which serves
up the generated file stored under WEB-INF or you need to store the
generated file outside of WEB-INF.  The latter would make it directly
viewable from the web.

For instance, instead of what you have, do a redirect to
"/report/Report.pdf" where the "report" directory is at the same level
as WEB-INF...

/        (root of WAR structure)
/report  (directory viewable directly from the web)
/WEB-INF (defined by the servlet spec to *not* be publicly viewable)
