Use WebDev to serve the file. Using the Jetty folder as a poor substitute isn't really supported, partly because of this intractable problem.

If you don't have the WebDev module, and you can use a DB, you might find my free [Blob Server module](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/automation-professionals-blob-server-module/57970/47) helpful.
