nope, that's not the problem... i'm specifically testing it through a
right-click download...

doesn't address the problem, though... it still craps out regardless
of how i download/view it...

no... i'm suspecting it has to do with the server set-up... the one
you sent me offlist
(http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q196/5/05.ASP)
deals specifically with an IIS server, which this is not, but its
solution is interesting... it suggests that the IIS server is sending
over an expiration header... i don't see why Apache on Solaris
couldn't be doing the same...
anyone know how to display headers sent by the server?

nup... doesn't matter if PP is even installed on the target system or
not...
