SharedFilesDownload.aspx fails in IE6 and IE7

Joe,

The shared files module works correctly when clicking on a link to download a file. But, IE6 and IE7 fails when doing the following:

1. Copy link to a file in the shared files module (i.e. https://website.com/SharedFilesDownload.aspx?pageid=20&fileid=362&mid=83)

2. Paste link in URL address bar and goto link.

IE6 and IE7 on WinXP will display the error:

 

"Internet Explorer cannot download SharedFilesDownload.aspx from website.com. Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unabailable or cannot be found. Please try again later."

This works fine in FF2.0 and NS7.2.  Any ideas?

-Jesse

Re: SharedFilesDownload.aspx fails in IE6 and IE7

A partial solution to allow users to type a URL for a shared file in the address bar in IE 6 and 7 is to disable the "no-store" cache control http response.  e.g. do not use:  HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetNoStore(); Not sure if this has serious implications or not.

This is a nasty subtle little bug. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/812935 for more info.

Re: SharedFilesDownload.aspx fails in IE6 and IE7

Hi Jesse,

Can you do svn update and give it a try. Since SetNoStore is wanted under Firefox but not under IE, I've added a little browser detection so we don't do SetNoStore if the browser is IE.

Thanks,

Joe
