Hi there,

I have a mysterious (at least to me) problem:
I've got a struts application running on tomcat, the browser is IE.
You can also upload and download files.
Generally it works. But I just created a new page, a new foulder, and
a new table in the DB for the new files and the upload works
perfectly, and deleting the files as well.
Just the download doesn't: This window pops up where you are asked if
you want to open or save the file. If you save it, it works. But if
you open it, it just works for the .doc's and .xls's, but does NOT for
the .txt, images, etc. In these cases it always says it hadn't found
the .txt in Temporary Internet Files (the actual path is different),
or if you want to open a picture, it opens any picture in Temporary
Internet Files.....
The class is just the same as all the other classes for the other
downloads where it works!
The content type is saved in the DB correctly. The path is also the
right one.

What could it be???? Any ideas??? I am going crazy.....
