Hi,As I mentioned in my original message, we need to serve these PDFs via tomcat as we are using a proprietary java library which authenticates users with our central auth server. If we serve the PDFs directly via apache, they will be able to download the PDFs without being authenticated. We could also change the links to the PDFs to serve them via tomcat directly, but we'd then have to allow access to a different port through our border firewall, which is not a popular option as we don't need to serve anything else in this way.
I'm yet to try Apache 2.0.55 as William Rowe suggested, so I'll give this a shot and see if it works. In the meantime, if anyone else experiences the problem and knows how to resolve it, I'd be very happy to find out how it's done.
Thanks, Guy Shankar Unni wrote:

The PDFs accessed in this fashion downloaded with NO delay.Instead, did you try just serving up the PDF files directly from Apache itself? Those are static files - they don't have to be served by Tomcat..---------------------------------------------------------------------The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info.
