Hi Mark,

Thank you for your hint, I tried it, but I can't see any change in the =
behaviour.

I solved it for me with putting the necessary properties into the =
session so my action can handle all the requests.
Not very beautiful but it works.

FYI - I tried the whole process with Firefox and it works like ist =
supposed to!

So that is just (another) issue of web applications with Internet =
Explorer!

If someone needs a code snippet just tell me!

Regards
Jan

Betreff: Re: AW: Problem generating a csv file for download

I had problems downloading stuff when IE was the client.  After snooping
around google, I added these header lines and things worked but I don't
really understand why.
        response.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
        response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=3D0");
