File download using servlet and jsp. File Dialog comes twice

Hi

I was trying to download a file using servlet. There is a link which calls the servlet. When I click on the link file dialog box comes up. On selecting Open it again shows me the file dialog box. I changed the method from POST to GET and it worked properly.

My question is why does it work with GET and not with POST. I am aware of the differences between POST and GET but am not able to come to a rational explanation for this behaviour.

Please if anyone can explain this to me I am going crazy thinking an answer for this.

Thank you.

Regards

Jay
