A useful thing to do is to setup a logging http proxy so that you can
determine what headers are being sent with the file. Comparing these
between the direct URL and the component request should point out the
problem. Note the should. :-) I've found that Mac IE (and I think
Safari) will actually scan the downloads, regardless of what headers
you use) and render them as HTML if they believe the contents are
actually HTML. They might do similarly bad things in other situations.

Hallo,
I still look for a solution to my ssl download problem. This affects
.exe and .zip files, but .pdf-Files for example are not affected.
The download is made via a WOComponent which reads the File into a
NSData Object and hands it over with the appropriate header to the
browser, which starts the download (or not, in my case). The same
file can be downloaded, when I return the filepath in place of the
WOComponent in https without any problems.
The download with the WOComponent works for all file types (including
.exe and .zip) under http but a file not found message is displayed
under https with .exe and .zip-Files and the download fails, but it
still works with e.g. .pdf under https.
Is there anyone around who has a glue what is wrong here? Everything
worked before SP 2 and it still works with other Browsers. The
customer unfortunately works solely under Windows and with I
Explorer. Having the file paths visible is a option, if all other
possibilities (I do not see any at the moment, but there should be
some) fail.
Thanks for any help
Regards
Ute
