Hi all, I've had problems downloading files over HTTPS with IE. This is a know bug in IE, and there is also a known work-around. If the headers Cache-control = no-cache and Pragma = no-cache are available, IE has problems with downloading the content. The content is all the content that is not shown natively in IE, such as PDF, DOC, ...
After a little inspection, it seems that these headers are already available when CocoonServlet.service() is called. This means (I think) that somewhere inside Tomcat these headers are set. In CocoonServlet, I checked for these headers and overwrite them if they are available: Pragma = public, Cache-control = max-age=0. Setting these values seems to solve the problem (as many resources on the internet claim it should :) Now I have to questions: 1. What would be an appropriate place to set these headers? Since they are concerned with caching, do they interfere with Cocoon's caching mechanisms? 2. Are you developers interested in applying this patch to Cocoon? I have the code here if so. Thanks, Bart.
