ie7 mime handling differences.

P

I have an application that has been running for several years under various
versions of ie and particularly it works under ie6 and fails under ie7. I did
not originally write it, but have been maintaining it for some time and
generally know how it all works. The problem is that its just not an area I
have a lot of experience with and problems take way too long to fix. I hope
someone can provide a pointer.

Here's the basic jist.

User clicks on a web link that causes a (server side) perl script to return
parameter data to the client. That parameter data is then processed by an
application on the client. AFAIK, its totally vanilla.

Under ie7, I am unable to access the data file on the client. I am getting a
"permission denied" error. If I navigate to the ie temp folder (while the
error is displayed) I am able to open the file from explorer.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?

TIA

Never mind. Turns out it wasn't failing on the open, but rather when I tried
to delete the temp file. Don't know why, but it doesn't matter that much
since I can work around it.
