damn! that's a pretty good article, thanks a lot.
unfortunatelly, it's not mentioning about zip files concretely, I didn't
find a solution for my problem with them.
I tried playing a bit with the Content-type, but it seems that Internet
Explorer doesn't really care about "Content-type"... it uses the extention
of the file to determine the type (microsoft's way...) so it doesn't matter
if I use "application/octet-stream" or even "application/force-download" or
"application/makethisdownload-or-ikillyou" :-D as long as I name the file "
whatever.zip", IE6 shows the "open with" dialog and if I use "open" with an
application, it fails :(
thanks again Richard for the answer and for the article :)
anybody with a miracle for the ZIP+IE problem??
