hey... try replacing this code ..

res.setContentType("application/zip");
res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + "Banu" + ".txt");

with

res.setContentType("application/zip" name=" + "Banu.txt" +
"\nContent-Disposition: attachment; filename=" + "Banu.txt" + "\n\n");

I think it works..

> Hi,

> I have a small problem........We are using Jsps in our application. On click of the save button in the jsp, it submits the form which calls a servlet. The servlet retrieves data from the database and writes it into the ServletOutputStream. To save the data in a file, the following two lines have been added :

> res.setContentType("application/zip");
> res.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + "Banu" + ".txt");
> ServletOutputStream out1 = res.getOutputStream();
> out1.print();

> In both NE & IE 5.0, it is saving the file properly. It is also allowing to click the save button again. But in IE5.5, after saving the file, if the save button is clicked the second time, it gives a strange error that " Access is denied".
