I have problem with downloading any file from my site using IE 5.5 and HTTPS protocol. My php script works fine with Netscape 6.2 and HTTP/HTTPS protocols and with IE 5.5 but only with HTTP protocol.

I suspect your script has nothing to do with it. A while back, I had problems serving my SSL'd pages to IE 5 users. If I recall correctly, it turned out to be a bug in IE not being able to process certificiates with key lengths that were not the ones expected. Thawte or my ISP inadvertently used a 1028 bit key on the certificate rather than 1024.

IE5 has known problems with SSL. Some sites (sourceforge.net) use SSL only to authenticate the user, letting them back out of secure-mode after authentication succeeds, if the useragent is IE5. It reduces the potential for problems. Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H. Brown pricee@hhbrown.com
