I use gzip to compress on the fly dynamic content(JSP generating HTML pages): all is ok. 

Yet, I have a problem to view on the fly gziped dynamic .PDF files. 

My configuration: 

*  Client side   ----------- - Internet Explorer V5.5 SP2 with HTTP 1.1 enabled - Acrobat Reader V5.0 in plug-in mode (or help app.mode) 

*  server side   ----------- - Unix SUN Solaris V8 - WebIntelligence V2.7, a BusinessObjects web application, in JSP mode, generating .PDF files - WebLogic V6.1 server + gzip compression filter associated to the URL of the .JSP file sending dynamic PDF files. 

Symptoms: 

When I click, in my web application, on a link calling the JSP that sends a PDF file, I get a raw "ungziped" text dump of the PDF file !  :-(( 

Yet, if I look in IE cache, I can see an "ungziped" PDF that I can  copy into another directory and open with Acrobat Reader ! 

All is ok if I disable "Http 1.1" in IE options but then PDF files are of course no more compressed. 

With "Http 1.1" enabled, I can view a static .PDF without any problem (and traffic network analysis shows me that the PDF is actually compressed: 40% saved). 

How could I solve this problem ? Have you ever heard of such thing ? 

If you can't help me, don't hesitate to give me good URLs about this subject. 

Thanks by advance. 

Steve.
