I have heard that there is a bug in Internet Explorer specifically related
to .pdf files that causes that, and if you change your URL parameters from

?action=toPDF&dummy=141240GBP31 January2002.pdf

to something that does not end with .pdf, such as

?dummy=141240GBP31 January2002.pdf&action=toPDF

your problem should go away.  I can't find the original reference where I
saw that, but try it and see if it works.

Hello all,

I have a behaviour that I cannot explain.

I am in my browser, displaying portfolio data. I have a servlet that is
responsible
for displaying the portfolio in a pdf document.

We have decided to display it in a new window. So, when the user clic
on the print icon, it opens a new window and call the rendering servlet.

I noticed that in this case the servlet is called 3 times!

If I call directly the rendering the servlet from the browser url line, (no
new window
opened), the rendering servlet is called once.

Can somebody explain me, why when opening a new window the request
is sent 3 times?

I have this in HTML:

<div align="right">
  <a href="/servlet/RenderPortfolio?action=toPDF&dummy=141240GBP31 January
2002.pdf" target="_blank"><img src="./secure/images/printer.gif" width="16"
height="16" border="0"></a>
</div>

I was expecting sessions problems, but it is not the case.

Cheers

Gilles
