Not really sure if this is the best place to ask, but at my wit's end! Hopefully someone else has seen (and fixed!) this...I have a web app developed using UD4. Runnign on IIS5 through SSL, when I put a link on a page to, say, a word document, the link won't work when clicked in browser. It gives me a message saying something about the file not being found or similar. But, when SSL is switched off it works fine! <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>
I'm just using a normal link to point to the file. When using SSL, do I need a bit of script or something instead?

Hi, I don't have the solution, but I had the same problem (so you know your not alone). After trying I assumed SSL doesn't alow it as part of security etc. But maybe ask your host before wasting time looking for a solution that isn't there?

I don't have a host, it's our own server in the office! It was for a web app for our staff and I didn't want its pages getting cached on public machines etc. I had the PRAGMA: NO-CACHE Custom HTTP header set in IIS on the whole Virtual Directory, when I removed that I found it all started working again.
The PRAGMA: NO-CACHE thing is handy but seems to upset certain ASP functions. Outlook Web Access 5.5 doesn't work well with it either.
Hope this helps someone else having trouble!
