note 14957 deleted from function.header by jimw

Hi there, this is for everyone having problems with downloading files with IE5.x and SSL while using sessions !!!!!!! You don't have to use 'session_cache_limiter('public');' before session_start() !!! I had problems using it 'cause I would have ruined my session which is needed to create the file which was intended for download. Instead of this, I use following headers: header("Content-Type: WHATEVER_YOU_LIKE"); header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=\"excel.xls\""); header("Expires: 0"); header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0"); header("Pragma: public"); The last header is the most important, cause the header "Pragma: nocache" generated by PHP after calling session_start() is the main problem when using IE and SSL. The "Pragma: nocache" is only recognized by IE5.x and ONLY used if connection is made over SSL. Setting it to (not existing) "Pragma: public" overwrites the PHP-generated header, and everything works fine.
