Access/download file from server.

Question

have a problem. When I am trying to save/open a file from server(secure) which uses HTTPS, its displaying error message:
Internet Explorer cannot download ...File_name.doc from Server_name.
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.
My code is below. Please help me out.
Its working with my localhost(http) and with Firefix browser. Its something to do with http and IE 6.
<java>
if (!request.getScheme().equals("https"))
response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
     String fileName=request.getParameter("instruction");
     //filename = filename.replaceAll( "\\W*", "" ) ;
     String DirName = request.getParameter("directory");
     String value = (DirName+"/"+fileName);
               File f = new File (value);
               response.setContentType("application/msword");
               //set the header and also the Name by which user will be prompted to save
               response.setHeader("Content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + fileName);
               InputStream in = new FileInputStream(f);
               out.clearBuffer();          
               int bit = 256;
               int i = 0;
               try {
                    while ((bit) >= 0) {
                         bit = in.read();
                         out.write(bit);
               } catch (IOException ioe) {
                    ioe.printStackTrace(System.out);
               out.flush();
               out.close();
               in.close();     
</java>
