Hi xyber,
Thank you very much for helping me out. I checked my IE setting, under Option->Advanced->HTTP 1.1 settings, the box Use HTTP1.1 was checked, and the box Use Http1.1 through proxy connections was not. However, I don't think I use any proxy or anything, just connect through my own machine using local host. Do you have any idea? (This problems show in 3 machines (as servers), and many machines as IE clients). I am sure that anyone has binary download (.exe, .pdf) and an index.html file would have problem.
