So I am using
Tomcat 5.0, IE latest version running on win2K. I have set an association in windows explorer (tools->folder options->file types) for .vnc files to be opened appropriately with the vncviewer client app. This is how IE determines what applications get run when encountering certain types of files.
But if what is coming across my servletResponse cannot be identified as a ".vnc file" (but does have a content-type of 'application/x-myCompany-vnc'), shouldn't this also open the vncviewer app?
I guess I'm kinda confused on the purpose of even registering the mime type in web.xml if IE still doesn't know how to handle a file even though it is the correct content type, but incorrect extension.
does that make sense? I think I'm confusing myself....
