[OT] Caching problems with IE after download
Hi everyone:
This is more related to Java than tomcat i guess! But
any input would be greatly appreciated. This is a
question that has been around for a while now...I
tried looking up the forums on Sun's website...but
could not really find a solution to solve my
problem...so here goes...
I have implemented a file download bean which sends
out binary data to the browser. The bean is
instantiated by a JSP page. To make sure browsers
don't cache response I do:
response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
response.setDateHeader("max-age", 0);
response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);
while sending out the file and on every other JSP page
on the site. However, for some reason the JSP page
accessed immediately after downloading a file contains
portions of a binary stream on the top of the page
followed by HTML. I am confident the server is not
resending the data again...(confirmed it with ethereal
and nescape works too)...so I dont know what I am
doing wrong...or what I should do to get it
right...Any suggestions ot opinions on this?
Note that the headers work perfectly fine while
navigating through JSP pages.
Thanks
Prashanth

Seems to me that the problem is with the means you are using to send us the
file. Can you show us that code?

Look for redirects that don't have a return immediately after them.
