Here's the quandary:
We're trying to redirect to a downloadable executable on another server. If I
type the address directly into the address bar of IE/Win, it works fine. If I
CFLocation to the file in Firefox, it works fine. If I CFLocation to the file
in IE/Win, it drops the .exe

Use javascript?

Tried both. Both triggered IE to block the download of a potentially harmful
file.
Use the Java page context thing (I can't remember it off the top of my head
should be easy to find if you google it).
Hadn't thought of that. Maybe worth a look if this ever
