I have an application that uses SSL for the entire session, which
is a
good thing. However, I have some IE users who can't download PDFs and
other documents out of the site. Its related to this Microsoft
knowledge base item:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=323308
More specifically, it would appear that WO is setting the
"Cache-control:no-cache" header. Any hints if this is the default,
and
where one would spelunk to find it?
