I'd bet the problem is newline translation. If you scp the file from the
server, does it look right? Are you using your own servlet to download
the file? If so, what does the code look like? If you MD5 hash the
original file (somewhere else) and the file uploaded to your server, do
they have the same hash? What about after downloading?

It was the MIME type - the version of Tomcat the OP was using had it wrong (known bug).
