I have a servlet that downloads a file by writing the file contents to the browser's output stream. I set the MIME-type using response.setContentType("application/pdf") .



When the browser is IE4 or IE5.5 S1, itr does not recognise the file name or MIME type. I know that this is a bug with IE5.5 S1 and is fixed in S2, but it would be nice to know if there is a work around for IE4 and IE5.5 S1.

Set the ContentLength i.e. byte length you are streaming back to HTTP in the Servlet.
