does "fails to display." mean 404 or do you get a file to download and
fail to render it on the client side(browser)?

Means it 404s.

for the 404 make sure the files are located there where tomcat/your
app looks for them

They are indeed where it's looking for them. When I change the name of the file from "file with spaces.html" to "file%20with%20spaces.html" the browser is able to find it just fine.

for the second case check the http header sent with the pdf file.

Hello,

I am having some issues with tomcat not displaying pages or files with
spaces in them, it simply 404s. Something like this:

pdf file on filesystem.pdf

being accessed at:

http://server/pdf%20file%20on%20filesystem.pdf

fails to display.

I am migrating this site from an older RHEL server where it works fine. I am migrating to a Debian server with up to date Debian packages of apache2,
tomcat5, and java6.

I am using tomcat5 because the webapp had some odd html entity issues with tomcat5.5 and tomcat6 that I was not able to resolve, moving to tomcat5 fixed the issues with entities in the page content itself. I am not certain that the page content html entity issues and the urls with spaces issues are
related, but it seems like they may be?

To check that this was a tomcat (and not an apache issue, as I am JkMounting the site to tomcat ) issue I tested accessing items with spaces with apache
and that worked fine.

Any one have any thoughts on this?
