Hello,

  I've encountered a bug with the 4.1.31 version of Tomcat.  Apparently, when 
I use an anchor tag for a file, and I click on the link, it does not show the 
file download message  "Do you want to open or save this file?" with the open 
and save options.  Instead, it displays the file in the browser.  I know you 
could normally save this information from the browser to a file, but I need it 
to show the download message because it's easier for users to save their 
file.  I'm using Internet Explorer version 6, SP2.  I've also tried setting 
the "Confirm open after download" check box for file types to no avail.  It 
use to work in Tomcat 4.1.18.

   Any help would be appreciated.
