HTTPS to HTTP??

[Enya]

In the first ASP page (

https://......)

I have a link, which when clicked, initiates download of a file. If the download file is (

http://......)

- I get a security alert. But if I use (

https://.....)

as the download file - the downloaded file is not in the correct format.

Is there a workaround for this problem?? Can anyone suggest solutions.

Thanks in advance.

What format does the download file become? I've not heard of this problem before.

You can also try the basic Web Desgin forum or a Microsoft IIS forum on here. Harold Blackorby

The ASP page is supposed to download a .csv file (open Excel). But the file ends up being displayed on the browser (literally comma separated and all) - doesnt open excel and put the data in there.

Does it normally open .csv files in Excel in a browser when downloaded? I didn't realize it did that for .csv files. You could set the content type using

<% response.ContentType(&quot;application/vnd.msexcel&quot %>
This tells the server to send the file out as an Excel type file. Harold Blackorby

I have set the content type for excel format. But somehow the https/http is making a big bad difference. The browser ends up listing all the data (comma separated) on itself, instead of excel worksheet.
