HTTPS, downloading a file fails in IE - El Forum - 02-17-2008
[eluser]JoseG[/eluser]
Hi,
I have a problem in one site that uses HTTPS. Everything works fine, but when I try to download a file (a PDF), IE complains with the message:
"Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later."
After some investigation it seems to be a bug in Internet Explorer (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316431)
It seems that the Cache related stuff on the Header directives could be causing the trouble. I've removed them from my download code with no luck.
I'd appreciate any help you could provide.
Thanks in advance,
Jose
