Sounds strange but therefore you have logfiles. Set the log level to
debug, and compare the requests when opening it via JS and typing it
directly in core.log.

Well, the lists keep repeating weird problems related to
content which IEx handles through COM extensions (GIFs are
handlend natively). I'd write this off as one of these
special IEx features.

I think you're right. I did a lot of research and came up with this
solution:
mywin = window.open("http://alliancetech.com/some_gif.gif", title, args);
mywin.location = ("http://alliancetech.com/files/daily_20040718.pdf");
The window is opened with a gif or something like a "Please wait..." page,
then the location call gets the pdf I'm really interested in. I still get
to take advantage of Cocoon for resolving my urls, but it adds an extra
step which, in my case, is not a serious problem. I still would like to
hear if anyone else has solved this, but I can live with the workaround for
now.
Thanks again.

Leona

No, the browser does resolve the path for you if you open a window with
javascript and a relative path. That's why I asked for the difference of
the two requests as they should be exactly the same. If the relative
path would not be resolved to an absolute one, you would not even get to
Cocoon as there would be no host to send the request to.

Shall it be the old PDF bug with relation to missing content-length
header in IE??

The problem here is that I want to use the sitemap to resolve the absolute
path, rather than putting it directly in the JS call.
So, in my sitemap, I have:
<map:match type="regexp" pattern="files/daily_20040718.pdf">
<map:read mime-type="application/pdf" src="file://Z:/daily_20040718.pdf"
/>
</map:match>
which causes the IE "Internet Explorer cannot download..." error. If I
change the mime-type to "image/gif" and use a .gif file, all is well. I
looked at the logs and see no errors, so I am wondering if it has something
to do with the reader for PDF, or perhaps the Cocoon configuation. This
code worked in Cocoon2.0.
Thanks again for any help.

Leona
