This works properly on IE for Mac for redirecting users
to download a file:
Header("Refresh: 0;URL=http://www.mywebsite.com/junk.zip";);
HOWEVER, it clears the web page which is very confusing
to users. It's unsuitable for dynamic PHP sites. <sigh>
The only other way to go, I think, is to write my own
custom version of PHP's Header() function.
Any other thoughts?
