Re: ISO CD Image file is being sent as HTML

With neither quill nor qualm, jstorta quothed:

I have the following link in a document

<A href="mycdimage.iso">Test Image</A>

When I click on it in a browser it opens it as though it were and HTML
file and starts putting random characters in the window.

If I right click and select Save Target As, it allows me to save it but
says the file type is HTML and tacks on an htm extension to it.

I have gone to other sites and can download iso images without any
problems so I've determined that the problem is on my web server not
the browser.

The web server uses Apache Tomcat and the document is a java server
page. This link is just straight HTML code though.


Is there something I am supposed to include in the document or anchor
tag to indicate that this is a binary file that should be saved when
clicked or does this sound like a tomcat/JSP problem?

It sounds like the server is not exercising the right isometrics.
