[Xitami] http file transfer (temp folders)

[Daniel Nowlin]

I would not say that.  True that Netscape and Opera does not do it and IE
does but IE does not do it with other web servers.  Now if it is a problem
with IE then we all know how that will go.
"Hello MS.  Your browser has a problem with Xatimi web server".
"Then you should use our web server (IIS)."
