I experienced in the apache webserver logfiles executing JS "window.open('test.pdf')" does produce two HTTP requests in the logfiles (first load). Still, although loaded from the browsers cache the second time, this creates another entry. As for using "window.open('test.html')" this behaves as expected. I have been told - but not tested myself - this also applies for Safari 3.x. As for people runinng logfile analyzers this is a pretty critical beahavior as the statistics of downloaded binary files are not properly reported.
