The form is a multipart form enctype="MULTIPART/FORM-DATA", but I now see it is not there to support the multiple downloads. In my original post I did not include the fact that each record contains an <input type="file"...> tag as well. Red herring on my part, sorry.

The form I'm posting to is large and undocumented. I must be missing either a required hidden field, or I'm not managing headers/cookies properly.

Thanks for the info.

Gary
