[opencms-dev] Setting manual Content-Type header from a jsp

[Mike Dikan]

Sorry, just found the static CmsFlexController.getController(request)  
method to answer the first part of my last email.

As for the second part, I attempted this:

HttpServletResponse topLevelResponse =  
CmsFlexController.getController(request).getTopResponse();

But calls to modify the headers on topLevelResponse don't seem to be  
taking effect.

Any pointers?
