Content type for jsp/html files
Hi.
I've want to make a servlet that can display the source of any jsp/html
file (not the rendered one).
Basically my code is like this:
*set content type to text/plain
*get PrintWriter object out
*get the fileobject as an inputstream
*write to the out object
*flush/close
The code is working fine, but viewing the servlet execution in a
browser, the content type is set to text/html which means that all tags
are not displayed (hidden).
How can I override this behavior. If I read a text file everything works
fine. But if the file begins with an <html> tag, the contenttype is set
to text/html. Is this a browser problem?

typo: context type should be context type.

Totally! With context type set to text/plain is not going to provent IE doing
something on its own.
The sure fix is to replace all the "<" with "<".

I'm afraid Internet Explorer is willing to play with you. ;-)
Try adding "nonsense.txt" to your URL, as in:
http://path/to/your/resource?nonsense.txt
IE has a horrible MIME behaviour. Live with it, or trash IE ;-)

Yes, if all browsers played fair and treated thing properly. But IE and some
others have a "mind" of there own. They have been written to handle sloppy
code and thus often don't follow the rules.
Thus we are often forced to work around them.

I've already done that. But than I was thinking. Isn't there an easier
way to display "plan text" files by setting the content type (and not
encode the content).

Johan,
If the purpose is just to see the code, then you can parse the stream
and replace each of the <> symbols with a substitute. This will cause
the browser to see everything as plain text. Parse the stream. If
character equals < then replace with < If character equals > then
replace with >
With this your code will display correctly on the screen.
