RH can worry about it, but it's a (deliberate) misconfiguration with M$
software and not something others can readily do anything about without
stepping into proprietary "standards" (ha, ha).

Complaints/concerns should be directed to Micros~1 telling them to fix
the bugs in their browser.

For the record, that is _precisely_ why I recommended an FTP client. MS
stuff is broken in many ways, most of them intentional to keep people
tied to them and only them. A third-party client gets around this.

In this case, it was a http URL, and an FTP client wouldn't have gotten
it. But a browser that adheres to standards works. So, who's fault would
you say it is?
