We are having issues with WLS 5.1 pdf SSL

Question

We are running IE 5.0 and above browser with our application and the server is Weblogic 5.1 We are having issues with a generated pdf being sent down from the server using the response outputStream in an SSL connection. We tried setting the content type before getting the outputstream. IE comes back with a dialog for download. When we select either of the options IE comes back with "Unable to download <url> from <server>. We are using WLS 5.1 service pack 6. Any help will be greatly appreciated
          

Answer 1

          I tried this option, but did not help. We have two weblogic servers on different
          machines. One works fine in downloading pdf file over https, but not the other.
          The error we are getting after selecting it to save it to a file:
          IE cannot download xx.pdf from www.xxx.com
          From the link, when we say "save target as", we get different error as:
          This file could not be written to cache.
          Someone suggested to pass "pragma: public" or "pragama: no-cache" in the header.
          But we are just simply serving it as a file, neither from servlet nor from jsp.
          So I suspect it something to do with our weblogic proxy or security configuration.
          Any ideas/help is much appreciated.
          Thanks
