I am running Tomcat 6.0.26 on a Solaris 10 system. The Tomcat server is configured to listen to HTTPS communications on port 8443. When browsing to the Tomcat server remotely using the following syntax everything works as expected: https://10.10.10.10:8443/
If however we accidentally leave out the "s" in https like this: http://10.10.10.10:8443/ The Tomcat server responds with a 7 byte .exe file to download. Each time we make the request again it generates a new .exe file with a different name (cd64dni2.exe or z0v8671g.exe for example). The exe fail fails to execute on a windows system. The contents of all of the exe files are exactly the same (binary data) If I run an od on the file I get the following: $od cd64dni2.exe 0000000 001425 000001 001002 000012 0000007 Can anyone explain what this file is and why it is getting generated?
