Re: single

You can also use the HTTP content-disposition header to make it work. 
That header works well with content-name, and content-type headers to 
work-around the broken IE browser. I think but, I'm not sure, that 
somebody has already hacked together something like that to use the 
content-disposition header on each request. I'd have to take a look at 
the configure file to make sure, but I think brian made 
content-disposition an on/off feature controlled by a configure arg, or 
a directive, or whatever.
