The resulting file was the size specified & I had to unzip it to use it. Could you explain to me why I got two different results using the two different browsers? This is a mystery to me & I'd very much like to understand it. See: http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html4-updates/errata#entry-12 See also: http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/NOTE-cuap-20010206#cp-save-filenames In both cases the resource was transferred as gzip'ed resource, IE gunzip'ed it on the fly, and Netscape didn't.
