Hi Kay:.

Tested on Google Chrome 6.0.472.53, Firefox 3.6.10 and Opera 10.11, Linux 
X86_64, kernel 2.6.3.7 and JRE 6u21

Google Chrome: works perfectly, directed to the Linux RPM build w/o JRE

Firefox: set up the same URL as Opera, but got a 404 (can send you the 
screenshot if you want it).

Opera. seemed OK, but ended up being directed to other/html (didn't detect 
"platform variant" correctly) (last debug messages were "platform varient:**" 
followed by "platform mapping not available for Linux").

Tested on Windows XP Professional, SP3, fully patched, running in Virtual Box 
as i686. Browsers: Google Chrome 6.0.472.53, Firefox 3.6.10, Opera 10.11 and 
Safari 5.0.2.

Google Chrome: Functioned correctly

Firefox: Functioned correctly, produced correct download

Opera: Functioned fine up until the last, then constructed a weird URL 
(message was "Proposed link : y", redirected to 
<download.openoffice.org/test/y>)

Safari: Functioned correctly.

Summary: There appears to be a few issues left on Linux, however Windows 
functions fine with the exception of Opera. Note, not tested with Internet 
Explorer.
