PDF over https in MSIE problem

[Ilya Oussov <il...@oussov.com>]

Is it possible to download PDF over https with MSIE?  I tested several
combinations of cache control and content-disposition headers but none
worked for me.  Is it at all possible without fall back to HTTP?

MSIE always says "was not able to open this Internet site".

Best regards,

We had this for content types that IE didn't know about, including 
application/x-zip-compressed and application/octet

By default we have a filter which sets cache headers for everything:

<snip>
httpResponse.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
httpResponse.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
</snip>

For the offending servlets we added a hack:

<snip>
if (response.containsHeader("Pragma")
     && request.getHeader("user-agent")!=null
     && request.getHeader("user-agent").toUpperCase().indexOf("MSIE")>-1) {
     response.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
}
</snip>

This worked for us over SSL
Also see the notes in

HTH,

Jon
