I have a Java webapp creating a pdf and streaming it back to the browser.

 byte[] pdf = report.exportPdfToArray(user);
response.setContentType(\"application/pdf         


        

Answer 1

It's weird but it can be useful for someone(maybe someone can tell what is wrong with it):

When I set two headers like:

response.addHeader("content-length", String.valueOf(((FileInputStream) is).getChannel().size()));
response.addHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"MyFileName.doc\"");

It doesn't work. But when I change the order it works as expected:

response.addHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=\"MyFileName.doc\"");
response.addHeader("content-length", String.valueOf(((FileInputStream) is).getChannel().size()));
