I am getting a similar problem, but found out this morning it is also
affecting .zip files as well. I spent most of yesterday trying to trouble
shoot the problem. Everything was fine until yesterday, it seemed.
I finally got PDFs to be served by mapping them through the ASP.NET (1.1)
dll. This mroning I got a question about the same thing happening to zip
files. Sure enough right where I was yesterday.
The logs are showing a 200 for status.

This particual file, I can open it, or save it when I open it on the server,
but not remotely. I even tried it from another server in the data center
and no luck.
I will put a packet sniffer on it and try it out now to see what I get.
Thanks,
Chris Love

The mapping are set correctly and we are prompted to
either download or save the file as expected. When you
attempt to download or save the Pdf file a "site cannot be
found error pop-up displays. Here is the log file I
captured today.
