Internet Explorer cannot download index.php from mydomain.com

[Thomas]

In downloading Office (powerpoint, etc.) files in OpenGoo (over SSL, not sure if this matters) in Internet Explorer 8, and we get the following message:

..."Internet Explorer cannot download index.php from mydomain.com"...

It works perfectly fine in Firefox 3.0.10. I can do some testing if needed, let me know.

We are using Version 1.4.1.

Any suggestions?

Hi Thomas,

OpenGoo works mutch better with Firefox3 then with IE (Version 6-8).

If it is possibly use Firefox3 for the work with OpenGoo.

Does this happen with every file, or only with these office documents ?

I'm still trying to get this working as well.

EDIT: Also tried this http://alexking.org/blog/2004/11/03/workaround-for-iessl-problem with no luck

Got it working, just follow these steps...

1. Run sudo a2enmod Headers to make sure the Headers module is enabled.
2. Edit /etc/apache2/site-enabled/default-ssl and add the following after the <Directory …>…</Directory> code block

Code: [Select]

<Files index.php>
     Header unset Pragma
     Header unset Cache-Control
</Files>3. Restart apache with sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

This was done with a Ubuntu 9.04 server

Can you explain what this does? Is there anything we can do on the application to avoid this issue (like sending some headers when downloading a file)?

You can see which headers we are sending for downloads on 'environment/function/files.php' line 329 onwards.

Thanks.

Basically when a user requests to download a file, the PHP script cannot set the "Pragma" or "Cache-Control" headers, otherwise IE won't accept it.

I have tested this to work in IE6, 7, and 8.
