I experienced something that shows the power of walking away from problem and coming back to it.

I've been developing a new system for work, and was working on fixing one particular bug on Friday afternoon, and all day monday. Couldn't see anything wrong, but one script was returning HTML files when it should have been returning PDF or Word files.

Couldn't do anything yesterday or this morning as the server was off line. Came back to the problem this morning, took one look at the script and saw that the script was returning an extra X in the HTTP headers sent to the browser that was confusing it.
