Is the production server using a "Cache-Control: no-cache" HTTP header?
I ran into a similar problem yesterday when opening a Word doc served by <cfcontent> (Win2k3 server). If MS Word was closed when I tried to open the doc from the web page, the no-cache was deleting the file before Word started up - resulting in Word's 'file not found' error. If, however, Word was already open, the doc displayed with no problem. Never had any trouble saving the file to my desktop. FWIW, this behavior was only occurring in IE6 - Firefox had no problems. Since I need the no-cache in place, my solution was to drop the 'attachment' value from <cfheader>: <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="filename=#filename#"> instead of <cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment;filename=#filename#"> IE now displays the Word doc inside the browser (not what I wanted), but at least the user doesn't get an error. hth, -michael > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: cfcontent error - IE6 XP SP2 client and Win 2003 server > From: Peter Legg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Fri, July 21, 2006 2:56 pm > To: CF-Talk <[email protected]> > > I've got a page that produces and Excel file for the user to either open or > save.
