It's perfectly normal! Since you are forwarding to nothing, a response MUST be sent to the client, and it is a default response (no content, but the HTTP headers are present). To be more precise, I'd expect the > browser to show the search mask and the result still. Do you mean that you expected that the original page is still present after that request? This is true, if the file is not HTML, plain text, and other formats that are directly interpretable by the browser. If you put in the response, say, a "zip" file, your browser will ask you to save/open it (possibly you have to set the "Content-disposition" HTTP header parameter). Antonio
