Here's another Internet Explorer annoyance...

I have a php page which allows for the downloading of info from a MySQL DB in the form of a .csv file.

When FF downloads the .csv across HTTP & HTTPS - no problems.
When IE downloads the .csv across HTTP - no problems.
When IE downloads the .csv across HTTPS - it complains:

Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.

Sometimes, I'll get the complaint (can't work out exactly how I get the different error messages):

The file could ont be written to the cache

Anyone else come across this and more importantly, solved it? (aside from not using IE but alas..many people do.. )

Show us all the headers you send

Are you forcing the download from HTTP to HTTPS or vice versa?

For example, your on a page http://www.site.com and the link is https://www.site.com/file.csv ?
