Re: servlet file download works in Firefox, but not in IE

Joshua,

Hm - never seen that before. Have you tried deleting the IE cache?

Another idea - what's the URL that you are using for this? Can you  
try using a URL that actually looks like a real filename.

I.e. for a JPEG have a name like image.jpeg?

If that works, you might have to set the content-disposition header  
(http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616 19.5.1) to suggest a filename.
