Here is a simpler c# code that illustrates the problem ...

string filepath = "c:\\glenn\\chatMsgs.txt";
string filename = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(filepath);
Response.Clear();
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + filename);
Response.Flush();
Response.WriteFile(filepath);

The following problem is XP sp2 specific. The problem does NOT occur in
other IE versions or other browsers.
 
I am having a problem with the url address line not updating when clicking
on various links in my application. The navigation to the various links
works fine.

However the url address line never changes. This occurs after I click on a
button which then streams a text file back to the browser.

The text file content streams back to the browser just fine and the content
is displayed in notepad. From a C# perspective - Here is how I am streaming
the content back to the
browser.

Here is a link to the aspx page. Note that the url address line does not
change after
clicking the DownloadFiles button then clicking the cnn link if one is using
XP sp2.

For all other browsers the url address line works correctly.
