ie直接下载rar文件乱码形式直接打开

在jsp里面有a href直接连接文件下载，部分文件不能下载，直接以乱码形式打开

问题：<a href="/files/a.zip">文件下载</a> 点击直接下载成功
<a href="/files/b.rar">文件下载</a> 点击直接下载失败，乱码形式直接打开

最开始以为是浏览器设置的问题，后来发现不是，而是Tomcat服务器配置的问题，具体如下：

web.xml文件中配置<mime-mapping>下载文件类型
TOMCAT在默认情况下下载.rar的文件是把文件当作text打开,以至于IE打开RAR文件为乱码,如果遇到这种情况时不必认为是浏览器的问题,大多数浏览器应该不会死皮赖脸地把二进制文件当作文本打开,一般都是服务器给什么浏览器就开什么.解决方法:

打开conf/web.xml,加入下面的代码.

 
<mime-mapping>
        <extension>rar</extension>
        <mime-type>application/rar</mime-type>
    </mime-mapping>

在web.xml里面有很多，可以加很多类似的代码：

 <mime-mapping> 
 <extension>doc</extension>
 <mime-type>application/msword</mime-type> 
 </mime-mapping> 
 <mime-mapping> 
 <extension>xls</extension> 
 <mime-type>application/msexcel</mime-type> 
 </mime-mapping> 
 <mime-mapping> 
 <extension>pdf</extension> 
 <mime-type>application/pdf</mime-type> 
 </mime-mapping>
 <mime-mapping> 
 <extension>zip</extension> 
 <mime-type>application/zip</mime-type> 
 </mime-mapping>
 <mime-mapping> 
 <extension>rar</extension> 
 <mime-type>application/rar</mime-type> 
 </mime-mapping>
 <mime-mapping> 
 <extension>txt</extension> 
 <mime-type>application/txt</mime-type> 
 </mime-mapping>
 <mime-mapping> 
 <extension>chm</extension> 
 <mime-type>application/mshelp</mime-type>
 </mime-mapping> 
 <mime-mapping>
  <extension>mp3</extension>
  <mime-type>audio/x-mpeg</mime-type>
 </mime-mapping>

重启问题解决。

其实这个属性在页面上可以直接设置，
不同的ContentType 会影响客户端所看到的效果.

默认的ContentType为 text/html 也就是网页格式.

代码如:

<% response.ContentType ="text/html" %>
<!--＃i nclude virtual="/ContentType.html" -->

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

下面是更详细的ContentType
