Hello,

AF>As an aside, if anyone on the list knows of ways to defang this really
AF>annoying IE behavior, I would be most interested in knowing about it....

Two (and probably more) ways to do it. This is probably in a FAQ
somewhere as it is a common problem.

(1) Fool IE by snarfing another extension in the URL. For example, instead
of requesting http://www.example.com/foo.pl, tack on a dummy parameter and
request http://www.example.com/foo.pl?filename=foo.txt.

(2) Send a Content-Disposition header. This is a MIME header and not in
the HTTP spec but IE respects it:

    Content-Disposition: inline; filename=foo.txt

Humbly,

Andrew
