regression: Since 1.1.1, JSFs can't send raw data to response
-------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MYFACES-1130
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1130
     Project: MyFaces
        Type: Bug
    Versions: Nightly    
    Reporter: Ramon Casha


Since v1.1.1, it is not possible for a JSF page to send raw bytes to the response, such as a PDF from JasperReports, because bytes >127 are always converted to numeric entities even in raw data sent to response.getOutputStream(). Ideally, such character translation should only occur on the Writers, not on the OutputStreams, and/or only when the response's contentType is of an html/xml type. 

Error is caused in: org.apache.myfaces.component.html.util.ExtensionsFilter.doFilter(request, response, chain)

Recommended solution: if response content type is not a text type (eg, "application/pdf"), make no attempt to encode bytes sent directly to outputstream.

Workaround: in the doFilter method, after the extendedResponse.finishResponse call, if the entendedResponse's contenttype was set to a non-text type, send the output directly without any translation. As a stop-gap solution I did this:
        if(extendedResponse.getContentType().contains("pdf")) {
            servletResponse.getOutputStream().write( extendedResponse.getBytes() );
            return;
        }
