Hi list

We have just upgraded to dspace 1.7.2. Also we are running on Redhat 6 ES.

Everything is fine and actually works well. But...

We also installed an ssl certificate from Thawte in order to have secure 
connections. This works well but...

Users with Windows xp and ie8 cannot open the pdf's over this secure 
connection. It only provides an empty page.

This seems to be a well-known issue with ie8 and pdf over https.

I have tried some of the solutions proposed on for instance the pdf forums, but 
they don't work.

Installing firefox solves the issue but is not possible for all user over the 
world. ( I am thinking of placing a disclaimer on our site saying that we only 
support firefox, opera , but not ie8. Scary...)

Has anyone  experienced this? Any quick fixes that work for ie8?

I searched the dspace tech forum but could not find anything specific from the 
dspace community.

Thanks in advance.
