Are you familiar with MIME types? If not, then Google "MIME types".
According to the HTTP spec, the HTTP Accept header specifies the media MIME
types.
Try looking up the "res.setContentType()" function to set that header value
for your HttpServletResponse.
Before you send some response "res", I believe you should specify the
content type with that function.
Netscape is probably to spec.
Windows cheats by parsing the file extension (.txt, .xls, .doc) to help you
out.
I believe there are also MIME !ELEMENTS that can be added to web.xml to
achieve this as well within Tomcat.
