It's excessively complex for no actual benefit. It means you have to
have extra code to 'explode' out the various parts of the URL. Even
after reading your description of the code that handles this, it was
non-obvious what it was for. If I returned to this 2 years later ( or
God forbid, someone else had to look at it ), they wouldn't have a clue
what it was doing, or why. But also, as I noted, this 'solution' is to a
different problem - the problem of IE not naming downloads properly. IE
names them properly for me ... it just doesn't download them ( if over
SSL ).
