hi,

I need help with settings on how to make browsers recognize the correct file format for docx when downloading from a tomcat server.

I use navigateurl call passing something like this (note this link doesn't work)


When the file downloads the file name is set as testing_print but the document type come as unknown. All I am doing is retrieving the docx document saved in a Amazon S3 bucket through the above call. I changed all the mime type and web.xml files on the server but no luck.

If I try the same for a pdf file it works fine.

It's not a IE issue as other browser - chrome, firefox also have the same issue.
Any thoughts on what I am missing?
