No. Back in the bad old year of IE4 working with a document archive on an intranet we noticed that IE refused to allow us to force downloads of office documents regardless of sent mime-types and extensions. It stubbornly opened them no matter what you did. This had to do with the fact that it indeed does request the page/metadata for the page several times (I think it was 2 or 3 times) before actually showing it. I don't remember exactly how it went but it was somewhere along these lines. 1. Call the page and get a response 2. Evaluate the response and decide what to do with it (should the mimetype from the server win or should IE's own rules regarding activeX, Office integration etc win over what the server said about the file) 3. Retrieve, process and render/show the file I don't know if this procedure still goes in todays IE browsers, but I sadly suspect that it does... I've googled quicly and saw this that seems to be a similar thing and it goes into deatil a bit more: http://www.caucho.com/support/resin-interest/0212/0360.html (ps.
