Hi,

In my web application we need the capability to download Excel files (as
binary streams)
through  SSL. 
Everything works fine if only "http" is used to download the file. It
downloads properly and
opens in the browser itself (probably with the help of Excel plug-in).

Now when we use "https", it just displays a message "Start downloading from
site..." followed
by the complete url in the status bar of the IE browser. After a while a MS
Excel message (like an alert box)
comes up saying that the file could not be found or path doesn't exist.
Because the alert box is of MS Excel
I am sure the code is working fine, as the mime type is being set just
before writing out the Binary Stream.
It's the SSL encryption which is preventing Excel from displaying the file.

Has anyone encountered a similar problem... please advice.
Thanks
Ajay
