The filesize is sent in the Content-Length header. If this header is
omitted, IE has no idea how big the file is and thus cannot show a progress
meter.

How do you tell the client how large the file that's being downloaded is?
I've seen web sites where the download dialog shows a progress meter. I'm
assuming that the server is sending the file size prior to download.
Maybe in the "Content-Disposition" header? Thanks.
