IE and Windows Media Player download WAV files twice??

[dtr...@my-deja.com]

Hi,

I have a web site that allows WAV files to be downloaded an played.

When Internet Explorer gets sent the WAV file as an HTTP response, it
seems to:
- Discard the WAV file
- Start up Windows Media Player, giving it the URL of the WAV file
Windows Media Player then:
- Does a GET request for the URL
- Gets the WAV file (a second time!)
- Plays the WAV file

The web site supplies the WAV file as MIME type "audio/wav".

This behavior works OK if the original request is a GET, but if it is
a POST,
the second GET by WMP doesn't supply any parameters, so the web site
sees basically an incomplete request, and returns an HTML file.

Is there any way around this behavior?

Thanks,
David
