downloading text file in jsp

[subodh varshney]

PrintWriter out1 = response.getWriter();
response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
response.addDateHeader("Expires", 1);
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename="+pagename);
out1.write(contents.substring(0,contents.length()).trim());


I m using above code it is working, but when i download file it includes some extra lines(whitespaces) in the haeder of the file

Subodh, please do not post the same question multiple times.It only wastes the useful time of other ranchers and reduces the number of responses you get. Read this for more information.

I am closing this one for you.
