[Opensource] File downloads

[Wise, Malcolm]

Hi all,

May be slightly OT, but maybe someone can give me some pointers...
I'm migrating from Expresso 5.0 to 5.3 (using RC5 at present).  When testing
my file downloads from one site I hit a problem which seems to be IE6
specific (works on NS 7.1 and Opera).  I click on the link to download the
file (these are held in my Sybase ASE12 database) and click the 'Open'
button on the resulting dialog.  The appropriate application opens, but
complains that it can't find the file.  It seems to be looking in subfolder
'Content.IE5\[random characters]\filename(1).doc' within my Internet temp
files folder.  I can't see this folder anywhere (but a Google search seems
to suggest that this is nothing unusual!).
The strange thing is that another site I've converted to 5.3RC5 (running on
the same server) doesn't have this problem.  I still have a server running
the Expresso 5.0 version of the app and this works with IE6.  I use Sybase
EAServer 4.2.2 for testing and production, but I've also tested both the
version 5.0 and 5.3 based apps in Tomcat 4.1.27 with IE6 and get the same
result - the 5.0 app works and the 5.3 one doesn't!  If I choose to save the
file to disk this works OK, and I can then open it.
I'm running WinXP Pro locally.
On the face of it, it seems the change to 5.3 has upset things (I'd be more
confident about this if all my apps had stopped working), but if anyone has
any ideas why....

Cheers,
