SYMPTOMS

When you try to use the Server Push function with IIS, the browsers prompt you to save a file. The Server Push function uses the multipart/x-mixed mime type.

CAUSE

IIS does not implement the Server Push function.

MORE INFORMATION

The Server Push function is usually used to display data on the client without your input. For example, a Web server can push a Please Wait message to the client after a database query is submitted. This prevents the user from clicking the Submit button again, which causes another query to be queued.
