Viewing PDF DOC XLS on https://

[ceebs]

Hi Guys

I am have an intranet set up which I can view from home on a https:// - URL. On my intranet I have lots of .doc .pdf .xls documents - on my LAN I can view all these , but from my secure connection I can not view any of them - says it fails to down loads. Is this a characteristic of HTTPS or am I missing something that is not set up. It is run from W2000 server running IIS.

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks

For future searchers...

I had the same problem and I had no http headers that I was adding. If you are enabling content expiration, don't expire immediately, set it to 1 minute (or anything other than expire immediately) and your problem will disappear...

My IIS setting is always been to expire immediately and I don't see any problem with that. Could it be something on your browser's end?

Hi, In some cases, to uncheck "do not save encrypted files to disk" in the advanced opotions of internet explorer solves this problem too.

The best way is still to set a content expiration other than immediately.

Hope this helps. Please let know if this resolve your issue
