My tests show that it often (can't be sure of always) occurs with a PDF
file. BUT, it doesn't happen with NS Communicator and Acrobat Reader...
only the combo of IE and Acroread.
I've long suspected that it had something to do with IE sniffing the data
stream to figure out the data type. There's an old bug against IE that
mentioned that IE does sniff the data stream and use its own ideas in
deference to the stated MIME types and content dispositions sometimes. I've
always wondered if that ties into this.

Subject: Re: User-Agent: contype
¡Hola!
Looking at the users that log that make the request, it doesn't seem to
be...
(they are not the type of people that would use something like that, most
have
a hard time each time they have to use a browser)
I'm starting to suspect that is some pdf reader... But i've tried with
acrobat
reader with no luck...
