           Summary: window.open fires two HTTP requests for binary files
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: frank.hirsch at dalim.com

I experienced in the apache webserver logfiles executing JS
"window.open('test.pdf')" does produce two HTTP requests in the logfiles (first
load). Still, although loaded from the browsers cache the second time, this
creates another entry. As for using "window.open('test.html')" this behaves as
expected.
I have been told - but not tested myself - this also applies for Safari 3.x.

As for people runinng logfile analyzers this is a pretty critical beahavior as
the statistics of downloaded binary files are not properly reported.
