Problem downloading files in IE

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



My users are having problems downloading .doc or .xls files linked to from PHP 
pages; when they click on the link, IE returns an error stating that the file 
cannot be found.  Firefox, however, seems to be able to find the file and 
open it just fine.

>From what I can tell, this is related to a known IE issue which prevents users 
from being able to download files from a secure site if the headers on the 
page are set to prevent caching.  However, our site is not a secure site, nor 
do we have headers which prevent caching.

This has been bugging me for weeks.  I advise our users to use Firefox, but 
not all of them are able to do so; and since they pay our bills, we don't 
have much of an option.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate hearing them.
