Our web site is entirely SSL. Most users have IE. Our application is used
to securely transfer and digitally sign attached files that must be
downloaded. Yet, we've never seen this problem. Who is putting in the
"Pragma" header in the response in the first place that you have to change
it this way? And why does the Pragma setting have the negative effect
described?
Thanks,
David
