I know this is a nasty problem for users, but Apache cannot be expected to "patch" something that isn't a bug. I've spoken to a number of web server admins and they do not see it as a priority to change. Further more, for shame, some do not even know *where* in the configuration file to make the change. Human nature: You pay attention to things that are problems or irritations for you. This is *never* an irritation or a problem for an Apache Administrator and ALWAYS a problem for us end users. The wrong people end up paying attention! Maybe we'll just have to start a list of known offenders in this matter and make that list public. I don' know! How do you get an Apache administrator to do his/her job. Just remember the old adage about the squeaky wheel getting the grease. So people, lets squeak! But before doing that, have a read through /etc/http.conf or if its apache2 /etc/apache/httpd.con and just see what the administrator is up against. Is a long file with lots of comments and instructions. I can see why they are reluctant to look for and change some small thing like this. If I remember, I *always* right click or OPTION-click on down loaded files. Yes, this is a pain for me to specify each time where I want the file to go *but* in the long run this saves me an annoying crash and lots of irritation. Choosing a manual download like I described above almost always makes this problem go away. Cheers, David -- David Fedoruk B.Mus.
