Hi - All db users read this !!
I know it download it twice because in Netscape it take half of the time and
also I see it start in the left bottom bar.
I read that IE first read the headers fully ( including the file ) and then
ask it again for opening.
While Netscape read the file only once.
Any ideas ?
If I download from db twice while using IE means that all php servers that
serve file from phtml cause the same problem, and that's a Major Problem :(
Every one in the list that use db to store files should try to download the
files with IE and Mozilla while measuring the time its take !!!
Ill probably open a bug if no one will have idea how to disable double
reading of the file or how to guess when IE read the headers and when its
reading the file itself.
