I am not exactly sure what the goal is here, so I don't have an exact
solution. However, below are some links and code that helped us solve an
"IE and pdf download" problem.
Good luck!

Straight from somewhere in the horse's anatomy:

In short - ie will send 2-3 requests to the server per document, most
servers/code are not prepared for what ie is sending.
Some general info and a way to trick IE:
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.session-cache-limiter.php
http://pgsql.designmagick.com/include/fpdf/FAQ.htm#5
Some working code to download a pdf and open it in an acrobat window:
<?
session_cache_limiter('none');
session_start();
// generate the file. . .
// now send it
header('Content-Length: ' . strlen($pdfFileData));
header('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="' . $pdfFileName . '"');
header('Content-Type: application/pdf');
echo $pdfFileData;
?>
