HTTP GET request sent twice

Hello,

I access a URL by HTTP GET giving a pdf file as response.
Immediately after, a second HTTP GET is sent by the browser
without any user interaction. This does not occur when I
request text files. Why does this behaviour occur and how
can I suppress the second HTTP GET? This only happens when
I launch Internet Explorer from the command line and passing
the URL as a parameter (i.e. running "iexplore http://myurl"). If I type the
URL in the address bar after IE is already running, everything is fine.

This problem is similar to the one described in the following article.
Except that it still occurs when launching IE 6 from the command line
and passing the URL in the parameter.

Thanks,

The problem is different from the one described in the article you mentioned.
I am able to connect ok. Just that the connection is sent twice when I run
Internet Explorer 6 from the command line with the URL as the parameter.

Thanks,
Edward.
