Confusing response from a servlet??

[Joe Harry]

Guys,

I have a servlet say LoginServlet and when I try to access it, I get a message that says,
you have chosen to open
LoginServlet
which is a:application/octet-stream...

I checked my response content type and it is just text/html even after this I'm getting such a message???

[Joe Harry]

Could there anything related to Tomcat as far as this issue is concerned??

Have you made the content in your response object is really a html format?

[Joe Harry]

Yes, my response content is a HTML...but even after this I'm getting this strange thing as the response.

i think something is changing your response header "CONTENT-TYPE" . you should try to comment complete code in your doGet or doPost which ever you are using, save changes, compile servlet, restart tomcat and try to access it again.

if it goes safe then uncomment code blocks or lines step by step to check the bug line

I tried all sorts of troubleshooting but no success...

Can you paste your code and web.xml file so that we can have a look and figure the problem out ?
