in reply to HTTP Attachment Header

This has something to do with the cache in IE (I believe).

Did you check your file associations? (c.f. Re: Content-Disposition... odd behavior in IE)

I can't easily see the header they are sending

Right-click, View Page Info in FF. There's also the Live HTTP Headers plugin.

    Yes. My example is sending a PDF and Google's site is also sending PDFs. So, both are opening the same helper app (Acrobat). The IE dialoge box that opens on their site and produced by my example appear the same (except for the file name and the document size).

    Like I said... maybe there is something else in the header, but everything I have tried up to now doesn't fix the problem.

      That doesn't preclude an association problem. May I see the command string of the association?

      The header you were sending is fine. You've demonstrated this yourself. (And that means this isn't even a Perl problem!)
