Oh!, I see what you're missing!, the http:// feeds the download command to
the cgi and it immediately generates a ftp:// which your browser catches
and resends to get the real link! This happens fast because the gateway
stays open waiting for the ftp link it just sent you to come right back!
Try it with trace on.
