Sorry if too much information, wanted to cover my bases.
Running Windows 2k Server/ IIS 5.1
I have a website configured with an SSL cert and 'Require Secure Channel' is
checked - the server only responds to https requests. URL Scan is installed,
but set for UseDenyExtensions and .doc isn't denied. MIME maps are configured
properly at the IIS level. IISLockdown was run when the server was installed
(months ago).
Under the top-level website is a virtual directory which provides
unauthenticated access to a set of word documents via a static html links
page. (The top-level website requires forms authentication for other
services).
When a user clicks on a link to a word document via IE 5+ (I'm testing
WinXPProSP2/IE 6 - all patches) they get the standard 'Do you want to open or
save this file' dialog, but the document name is written as 'mydocument_doc'
from a client machine or 'mydocument.doc' from the webserver.
After clicking open or save, i get the 'IE cannot download mydocument.doc
from www.mysite.org.' message.
*** If i turn off the 'Require Secure Channel' option on the top-level site,
everything works peachy. ***
Thanks in advance for your help and advice.
Sean.
