Download failes with IE5.5 and SSL

[Anon]

Hi,

i have a problem as follows:

in a secure area are downloads offered for several customers. therefore the connection is secured by SSL. if customer clicks on a download-link, he links to the php-file Downlloadlink.html. it has the following headers:

header("Content-disposition: inline; filename=\"".$file."\"");

header("Content-Type: application/pdf");

header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Pragma: no-cache");
header("Expires: 0");

$file = $path."/".$file;

readfile( urldecode( $file ) );

this is working with netscape 4.78, 6.2 and opera 6.0 but not with any ie version e.g. 5.5.

with ie5.5 errormsg occurs like: site could not be downloaded. this site cannot be opened. if i work without ssl downloadlink works correct. I would be very happy if any one could help me.

Hi,

in the meantime i was able to solve my problem:

If you also use sessions you have 2 possibilities:

call session_cache_limiter( 'public' ) before you call session_start( )

Better possibility is:

you need the following header-calls

header("Content-Type: WHATEVER YOU LIKE" );
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=\"filename.ext\"");
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0");
header("Pragma: public");

Hope it will help you

Hi,
Thanks for u r immediate reply
I do not want the cache to stored in the client . i think public will store the pages in cache right? just correct me if i am wrong.
