Hello Alexey,

Thank you for your response.

What version of IE do you use? Does it work in Firefox? Is there any
difference if you put it out of frame, or with inline value instead
of  attachment? In IE there are few things you may check

On Firefox the download behaviour is correct. This really is problem
only on MSIE. Commenting out the attachment header does not fix it.

Unfortunately the two links you mentioned do not apply here. I don't
see any specific security setting that would relate to downloads over
https connections, and also this is not the case when the response is
result of POST request. It's a GET request.

I thought this might have something to do with content expiration, so
I went to check the server settings (IIS website properties, HTTP
Headers, Enable content expiration -- unchecked). But, that seems to
have no relationship with the problem.

I also read that it's bad to do over https things like

response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache");
response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");

but, I keep getting the same error, also when those lines are
commented out.

I've been reading all over the Internet, but no KB articles helped.
Right now I am writing to my customer (it's an intranet site) --
please consider switching to Firefox, at least until this problem is
resolved. Kind of sad outcome...

what you can try is to check if ASP.NET returns the same HTTP response
to FF and IE. You can use Fiddler or similar. Maybe there is a
difference, I don't know. I will try to check it as well, not sure
where can I play with https...
