Depends whether Valve is using a feature of IE that was guaranteed to
never change. Otherwise, with no contractual obligation, it is up to
Valve to keep up with changes. My bank, for example, tests for the
presence of IE6 and tells me to upgrade to IE6 when I'm running IE7.
Who is responsible?

So you would like to explain a few million gamers how to disable
auto-update from Windows and that they have to update their machines
then manually every few weeks? ;-)
The only working solution could be that fast-download works
without any
manual work from a gamer. I'm quiet sure that MS will not provide any
fix through auto-update that it works again, so valve is
responsible for
a solution.

If anyone finds this alleged IE7 fix that's in the steam
forums, can
you please share the link with the rest of us?

is it a client-based fix or a server-based fix? (search-function
doesn't work in steamboard forums so i didn't find until now)
if its a client-based fix you could forget it - and server-admins
will have to decide if they would kill their servers with custom
maps due removing fast-download or to loose players with IE7.
A server-based fix (if possible) is mandatory or a client-based
fix which could be provided with a regular steam-update that the
user has no manual work to do.
IE7 will be installed automatically through auto-update soon on
WinXP Clients, so there should be a fix asap.

Thomas

Subject: [hlds] IE7 and HTTP fast download issue
This is something that is haunting IE7 users since first beta
releases
- if fast downloads are enabled on server sometimes an attempt
to download missing file via HTTP just crashes the game.
IE7 was released few days ago and now we are receiving
increasing number of complains about this issue. The only
workaround is to disable fast downloads but it is quite poor
solution actually.
Dear Valve gurus, any plans to fix this issue?
Regards,
Roman
