Hi,
I just upgraded to TC 5 from TC 4 running on RH linux 9. I had a servlet
that acted as a downloader for file requests to a restriced directory. It
worked very well in 4, but now it doesn't work in 5. In 5 it adds a small
number of bytes in the output stream. It doesn't have to do with adding a
CR every time it sees an LF or anything like that. It adds about 10 bytes
at the beginning and then nothing else. Weird.

Here's my code. I did have some other problems with using the wrong
servlet-api version to compile, but those are fixed I think. Thanks.

public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException
{

 int i = request.getRequestURI().lastIndexOf("/");
 String fileName = request.getRequestURI().substring(i+1);
 Downloader dl = new Downloader();
 if (dl.checkContactInfo(request, fileName) == false)
 {
   response.sendRedirect("/sysforms/dlcontact.jsp?filename=" + fileName);
   return;
 }

 response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");

          response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","filename=" +
fileName);

 String path = manager.getBaseDir() + "/" + request.getRequestURI();
 File file = new File(path);

 response.setContentLength((int) file.length());

  PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter (response.getOutputStream());

   int b;
   BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream (
    new FileInputStream(file));
   while ((b = in.read()) != -1)
   {
    out.write(b);
   }
   in.close();
   out.close();

}
