I've noticed over the years that Microsoft will usually manage to screw up if you've got a dynamic URL. I really don't understand (or care) why Microsoft engineers are too stupid to handle dynamic content, but there it is. So you just get rid of anything in the URL that lets Microsoft screw up. There are several articles/tutorials on the net how to use $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and embed the file you want in the URL. The goal here is to change the URL that looks like this: imsafm2_download.php?F=imsafm/rahul/somefile.txt into a URL that looks like this: imsafm2_download/F=imsafm/rahul/somefile.txt You'll also need to use .htaccess to force Apache to use PHP on imsafm2_download (rename the file without the .php) <Files imsafm2_download> ForceType application/x-httpd-php </Files> The over-arching reason for doing all this, is to give Microsoft *NO* opportunity to SCREW UP. If the browser can't tell that it's not a plain old bring static file, it can't screw it up. You also need to do this for dynamic images, dynamid PDFs, FDFs, Ming (Flash) files, and pretty much any other rich media content that you generate dynamically. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
