Dear all,
    I have a FOP application which when requested, transforms XML into
XSL:FO and is then serialized to a web browser.
    During development this functionality worked a treat. However, we have
recently moved this onto the Internet and are
    having problems with different browsers.
 
    Error : Active X error - says the content type is text/html
 
    I am 99% sure that the XML and transformations are OK as they work in a
number of different platforms. 
 
    Has any one had experience of this kind of bug before. 
    I am still trying to determine where the problem lies.
    
        1. The browser
        2. The server configuration
        3. The FOP code on the server
 
    I have included 'some' of the source code, ie the bit responsible to for
streaming the PDF to the browser. 
 
     where content = ByteArrayOutputStream containing the Serialized PDF
document.
 
      // Set the content length
      response.setContentLength(content.length);
 
      // Set the content type to PDF
      response.setContentType("application/pdf");
 
      // Write the PDF stream to the response
      response.getOutputStream().write(content);
 
      // Flush the output stream
      response.getOutputStream().flush();
 
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Somebody is overriding your content type, it can be proxy or another servlet, 
I'd try mozilla browser - it has lovely View/Page Info stuff where you can see 
what content type is exactly at the resonse.
