I guess that you're using JRun (or some web server) behind IIS to support servlets.
1. Check if SSL enabled or not: Assume that your web application name is "mywebapp". Create a normal HTML page *in you web application* (don't put it in other directories) and try to open it from IE (e.g. https://localhost/mywebapp/test.html). If you cannot open it, the problem is because of server configuration. 2. Check if servlet works OK If you can open the HTML page, try to open your servlet (e.g. https://localhost/mywebapp/mypdfgenservlet) directly from IE (remember to uncheck "Show friendly HTTP error messages" of IE). Try to understand the error message to resolve it.

We are successfully using SSL in all other aspects of the site, we only run into the problem when trying to access the pdf. The web server used is IIS.

That's why the bowser returns the error messages (site cannot be found). Imagine that you have a house (web site) with two doors (HTTP & HTTPS) If you don't open the HTTPS door, no one can get in your house (through HTTPS door) to get anything.

I have a servlet that returns content to the browser window (IE5.5) in PDF format. This works great using http, but fails with the following message when I switch to SSL: Internet Explorer cannot download <filename> from server. Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. pDFList = (pDFList) custExtension.getInvoiceDetailPrint( invoiceNumber ); ServletOutputStream sout = response.getOutputStream(); response.setContentType( "application/pdf" ); response.setHeader( "Content-disposition", "inline; filename = example.pdf" ); BufferedOutputStream bos = null; bos = new BufferedOutputStream( sout ); for ( int i=0; i<pDFList.size(); i++ ) { bos.write( pDFList.get( i ); } if ( bos != null ) { bos.flush(); bos.close(); } In the servlet snippet above, pDFList contains an ArrayList of lines in the PDF. Can anyone provide insight into what I may need to get this to work within https? Thanks!
