Whitespace inserted in random location into the output stream

           Summary: Whitespace inserted in random location into the output
                    stream
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.4 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Unknown
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: dcherk@djinnsoft.com


Attached are three versions of the same HTML output.  The only difference is 
the static content of the files (i.e just plain text that I typed in to change 
the size of the page).

Note that considerable amount of whitespace is inserted by tomcat in several 
locations, even in the middle of tags (e.g <ta [whitespace] ble>).

For convenience, here are the location of the whitespace in the stream, in 
terms of character count from start of file:
 Sample 1:
    0 ->   387
16755 -> 16916
25108 -> 25150
 Sample 2:
    0 ->   402
16769 -> 16888
25080 -> 25164
 Sample 3:
    0 ->   402
16776 -> 16860
25052 -> 25164

If the page directive <%@ page buffer="48kb" %> is placed in the JSP page, the 
whitespace is illiminated.

The fact that the whitespace occurs in approximately the same location, and 
that increasing the page buffer temporarily resolves the problems leads me to 
believe that the problem is with the buffering mechaninsm.

Thanks,
Dave Cherkassky
