IE's behavior is stupid and broken in many way. Not only different IE 
versions behave differently but also it depends on the Windows version.
One of the stupid errors I've encountered lately: you write a script to
generate a CSV file, you set the proper mime-type however IE does not 
recognize the response a CSV as long the URL *including* the query
string does not end with '.csv'.
