Note that this isn't redirection, it's proxying.

The URL should dictate the file's "extension" should the browser choose to download (unless you use a Content-Disposition header, which I suspect you aren't using). > I've > tried setting up a mime-mapping for ".axd" files (as text/javascript) in > my web.xml, but it didn't solve the problem.

If you mean that the client is interpreting the files as text/plain instead of text/javascript or text/html or whatever, then that's a MIME type problem: your Content-Type header is wrong on the response you send to the client. You should be copying the Content-Type from IIS's response and setting that as the Content-Type for the response you send back to the client. You should set this before you send any of the content. Also note that MSIE ignores Content-Type headers because it thinks it's smarter than you are. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmkEhYACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PB2NQCeIBpZHtI19Ol6tKcJtEDnzSOH TngAn2SDDbLGu1ttaeHzCU0TBUCWfboo =2QaZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
