Yeh, i've experienced this issue - the problem lies in the IE8 security settings. If you'd change security settings to trusted zone it works. But of course i can't change settings in all client browsers. So i've ended up with opening a small html file with Window.open() and this html-file redirects then to the csv-file. Clumsy but it works. Let me know if you find a better solution.
