Empty zip files opened in IE

V

Vinoj

Hi

We are facing trouble opening valid zip files in IE.
Though the browser seems to be downloading the entire
content, when the application opens up the zip file, it is
empty. The zip file is dynamically generated using a Java
servlet to contain a list of excel files. And the response
content type is set to "application/zip". The servlet
finally sends the response to a JSP file which provides
the user with the provision to open/download the zip file
from IE.

The environment that we are facing trouble is in Tomcat
4.1.24 running with JDK 1.4 and Servlet 2.3. Earlier, we
used to have the same application work fine on Tomcat
3.2.x series with JDK 1.3.

Has there been any change in the response details expected
by the browser from the server?

Thanks,
Vinoj
