SSL on tomcat breaks file download
I created a JSP web application that allows user to dynamically generate and
download excel files using POI/HSSF. I use the following lines to store the
excel file in my application directory under a directory titled
"xlsreports":
nextXLSName = MiscUtil.getNextXLSName(); //gets the next file name by
querying the database.
report.writeFile(WebappPrefs.getRptPath(session.getServletContext()) +
nextXLSName);
The above lines seem to work because I find the generated file in the
correct folder with the correct time stamp of when I tested the JSP.
I then use the following line of code to send the user the file:
<jsp:forward page="<%= \"xlsreports/\" + nextXLSName %>" />
This has always worked flawlessly until I implemented SSL on Tomcat. Now, IE
tells me that the requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.
Any ideas why implementing SSL would break this or how to fix it? Thanks a
million in advance.

hey,
it is simply an header problem. I encountered the same problem few
month except that I am using servlet and not JSP file. But I think it
should be exactly the same. Tomcat by default set Cache-Control and
Pragma to no-cache. So you have to force those to to cache. I had to
add those two line to my servlet:
response.setHeader( "Cache-Control", "cache" );
response.setHeader( "Pragma", "cache" );
I hope it will help you
