alrighty, i've retested again. same results.
each time prior to requesting the .txt file i cleared the cache of the
browser just to be sure.
header chunk generated by Tomcat 4.1 for a .txt file:
HTTP/1.1 200
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
Date: Wed, 06 Jul 2005 16:22:39 GMT
ETag: W/"1706-1120587147968"
Last-Modified: Tue, 05 Jul 2005 18:12:27 GMT
Content-Type: text/plain

header chunk generated by Tomcat 5.5 for a .txt file:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
ETag: W/"1706-1120666790014"

as the above shows, Tomcat 5.5 did not product the "Content-Type:
text/plain" when it served back the .txt file to the browser.
i also checked the Tomcat 5.5's conf/web.xml file and the mime mapping
for txt files is there.
<mime-mapping>
<extension>txt</extension>
<mime-type>text/plain</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
i will enter this to Bugzilla then. i'm guessing this is not likely to
be a Tomcat 5.5 configuration issue although i'm not 100% sure.
thanks to everyone who helped on this!

[RESOLVED] RE: obscure tomcat 5.5 text file display bug? [NOT a Bugzilla]
Posted by Woodchuck <wo...@yahoo.com>.
sorry all,
i did more testing and found the cause to be because the text files i
was requesting had uppercase extensions... ie. "TXT" rather than "txt".
and as expected a work-around was to add the following mime-mapping in
conf/web.xml:
<mime-mapping>
<extension>TXT</extension>
<mime-type>text/plain</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
so sorry for the false alarm. :(
sincerely,
woodchuck <-- needs to improve on testing

phew! (relief) the results are the same...
both Tomcat version instances accessed directly via port 8080 (not
through IIS). cleared cache each time prior to requesting TXT file.

have filed my first Bugzilla falsely... -_-

ack! you are right! thanks for noticing this. actually, they are
both setup with JK connector redirecting from IIS to Tomcat (let me
know if you want to know why one is different from the other.. it's a
longer story)
at any rate, let me test again by accessing both directly without using
IIS (ie. port 8080).

Why does 4.x have:
HTTP/1.1 200
Server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
and 5.x have:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
Are you fronting 4.x with IIS, and not 5.x? That is one config difference
that you'll need to dispense with, in order to be fairly comparing the two.
