How downloads work

Some time ago, I've drawn a diagram for myself, describing how downloads work... I now decided to draw it in dia, and made it available online. This describes the basic process that happens when Mozilla encounters files it cannot handle. (This is not the code for "Save link target as", etc) It's not very detailed, but it should give an overview.
- as PNG
- as DIA

Hi,
sounds interesting, but I get a "connection refused" error on both links. What file format is .dia anyway?

The URL is now a bit more official:
http://www.mozilla.org/docs/docshell/mozilla_downloads.html

Dia is designed to be much like the commercial Windows program 'Visio'.
