[users@httpd] RE: IE 6 Won't Open Any Office Documents in the Browser
The problem has been solved. I read some posts online. It turned out the Single Sign On configuration was set to 'no-cache' and wasn't from httpd.conf.

Subject: [users@httpd] IE 6 Won't Open Any Office Documents in the Browser
Hi,
After I upgraded my web server to Apache 2.x, and I'm encountering a strange problem.
The IE browser won't open any documents in Office (.txt and .jpg files will open). Everything works fine on Firefox.
I've not changed any source code except the new Apache stuff. Can I alter this behavior in my httpd.conf? Has anyone out there encountered this kind of problem before?
I found some information this Microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316431 :
"In order for Internet Explorer to open documents in Office (or any out-of-process, ActiveX document server), Internet Explorer must save the file to the local cache directory and ask the associated application to load the file by using IPersistFile::Load. If the file is not stored to disk, this operation fails.
When Internet Explorer communicates with a secure Web site through SSL, Internet Explorer enforces any no-cache request. If the header or headers are present, Internet Explorer does not cache the file. Consequently, Office cannot open the file. "
Thanks
Mary
