Subject: [CODE4LIB] internet explorer and pdf files

I need some technical support when it comes to Internet Explorer (IE) and PDF 
files.

Here at Notre Dame we have deposited a number of PDF files in a Fedora 
repository. Some of these PDF files are available at the following URLs:

Retrieving the URLs with any browser other than IE works just fine.

Unfortunately IE's behavior is weird. The first time someone tries to load one 
of these URL nothing happens. When someone tries to load another one, it loads 
just fine. When they re-try the first one, it loads. We are banging our heads 
against the wall here at Catholic Pamphlet Central. Networking issue? Port 
issue? IE PDF plug-in? Invalid HTTP headers? On-campus versus off-campus issue?

Could some of y'all try to load some of the URLs with IE and tell me your 
experience? Other suggestions would be greatly appreciated as well.
