Websphere web server slowing my outputstream reponse
===

I have been asked to look at a previous project which sends a pdf back to the browser by means of the outputstream of the servlet. With no web server (virtual host) in front of the reponse, we get the pdf in the browser in about 2 seconds. However, when we go through the web server it slows down to about 14 seconds. We have tried many solutions but we believe that the web server is holding onto the response before relaying it to the browser. Is there a flag which will allow for data to be streamed to the browser through the web server? Sorry I'm quite new to configuring WebSphere. We are using WebSphere 6.1.

Many thanks.
