Hi,
In my webapplication when I use it with Internet Explorer 6 under windows xp professional I have the problem that when you want to download a file it comes up with the file dialog box. You can either open the file, save the file or Cancel. When I do open the file it launches the correct application but then this application does not load the file in memory. The application does not load anything. It's like it cannot access the file from the temporary directory where it was saved to.
Now the strange thing is that for a certain filetype where this happens on another webapplication it does work. So with one php webapplication it does not work for this filetype and for the same filetype but with another php webapplication it does work as it should. So I suspect that something is not send using the header command that caused the internet explorer file open to fail.
If I open the file in firefox then it does work for both php webapplication so it is just something strange in internet explorer 6.
Any webdeveloper who know of this bug in internet explorer. How can it by fixed? What is causing it?
Thank you.
