IE unable to download pdf over SSL (Struts 2)

[lekurwale amol]

Hi,
Application is based on Struts 2 framework, where download pdf is using below tags:

<result name="success" type="stream">
<param name="contentType">${reportType}</param>
<param name="inputName">inStream</param>
<param name="contentDisposition">attachment;filename="${fileName}"</param>
<param name="bufferSize">8192</param>
</result>

This works fine on HTTP for both browsers IE and Firefox, but when using same application on HTTPS, IE gives error
that IE cannot find the file and cannot download etc..
I browsed on Microsoft's site, and below is what was mentioned :
"This issue occurs if the server sends a "Cache-control:no-store" header or sends a "Cache-control:no-cache" header."

Question 1 : How to include the above directives in my result described above.

Few gave a solution of modifying some registry etc. But this is not possible as every client browser will be required to do it.

Question 2 : Any other solution to avoid this issue.

Hi,

Have you find any solution to this?
I implemented interceptor specified in apcahe struts documentation http://struts.apache.org/2.0.14/docs/https-and-ie-issues.html like this

import com.opensymphony.xwork.interceptor.AroundInterceptor;
import com.opensymphony.xwork.ActionInvocation;
import com.opensymphony.webwork.ServletActionContext;

import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;

public class HTTPRequestCachePrivateInterceptor extends AroundInterceptor {

    protected void after(ActionInvocation actionInvocation, String string) throws Exception {
        // Nothing
    }

    protected void before(ActionInvocation actionInvocation) throws Exception {
        HttpServletResponse res = (HttpServletResponse) actionInvocation.getInvocationContext().get(ServletActionContext.HTTP_RESPONSE);
        res.setHeader("CACHE-CONTROL", "PRIVATE");
    }
}

and the struts.xml is as follows

<interceptors> <interceptor name="iedownloadfix" class="uk.test.HTTPRequestCachePrivateInterceptor"/> </interceptors> <action name="filedownload" method="download" class="uk.test.FilesforEvidence"> <interceptor-ref name="iedownloadfix"></interceptor-ref> <result name="sendFile" type="stream"> <param name="contentType">${contentType}</param> <param name="contentDisposition">attachment;filename="${name}"</param> </result> </action>

But still I am not able to make it work.
If you got any solution please post it.
