Hi,

i've tried the following :

( env : jboss-4.0.3 )

In a testapplication I create excel files dynamically with hssf and
pdf's with itext with help of servlets ( Excel1Servlet, PdfServlet ):

These servlets should now mapped to url ( access through https ) :

"http://myserver:8080/myapp/secured/servlets/" or
"https://myserver/myapp/secured/servlets/"

I've done this by correct entries in web.xml.
...
<url-pattern>/secured/servlets/Excel1</url-pattern>
...

But : when calling the site with mozilla the ExcelSheet or Pdf-File are shown
correctly

when calling the site with msie there is an error like this ( after using the open-file dialogbox ):

https://myserver/myapp/secured/servlets/Excel1 cannot be opened

What's wrong ?

Thanks in advance

tom
