Instead, did you try just serving up the PDF files directly from Apache 
itself? Those are static files - they don't have to be served by Tomcat..

Hi,

As I mentioned in my original message, we need to serve these PDFs via 
tomcat as we are using a proprietary java library which authenticates 
users with our central auth server. If we serve the PDFs directly via 
apache, they will be able to download the PDFs without being 
authenticated. We could also change the links to the PDFs to serve them 
via tomcat directly, but we'd then have to allow access to a different 
port through our border firewall, which is not a popular option as we 
don't need to serve anything else in this way.

I'm yet to try Apache 2.0.55 as William Rowe suggested, so I'll give 
this a shot and see if it works. In the meantime, if anyone else 
experiences the problem and knows how to resolve it, I'd be very happy 
to find out how it's done.

Thanks,
Guy
