SSL vs Response.BinaryWrite

[Stuart Thorne-Jones]

I am experiencing much the same thing here using BinaryWrite over SSL.

Basically the exact same code that will deliver a PDF to the browser in
a non-SSL environment results in in a dialog asking you to open, save
etc. and when you try either of these you get a message saying the file
is not available.

The bizarre thing is that this works perfectly in Netscape, Opera and
Mozilla browsers and (I'm told) in IE 5.5 sp 2 (only). All other
versions of IE give the error.

I have encountered numerous suggestions mostly about removing

Response.AddHeader "pragma","no-cache"

... but none of these have so far worked.

If anone has any other suggestions they would be greatly recieved right
now as people are jumping up and down on me to come up with a solution!
;-)

Ta,

Aha! ... For those still interested, I have found a solution ...

In IE goto tools/internet options/
Goto advanced Tab
go down to Security.
Uncheck the "do not save encrypted pages to disk".
This will make downloading a pdf work in ssl.

Entirely pilfered from elsewhere, but thought it might be useful.
