You may not have to...  Have you looked at the mod_ssl FAQ?

   http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.6/ssl_faq.html#ToC48

There are known problems with mod_ssl and certain versions of IE that
cause I/O errors.  Since SSL works with non IE browsers and IE works on
non SSL connections this is what I suspect.

If you don't have the work arounds listed in the FAQ in your SSL
configuration you should try adding them.  If you do, this discussion
should probably move to the mod_ssl mailing list.  (Assuming you are
using mod_ssl.  If not, it appears to be the combination of SSL and IE,
check with your SSL provider for a patch or work around.)


Don't forget to restart apache after changing the config files.

Yes - works perfectly on insecure connections

It should work.  Supposedly SSL should not matter, as all the SSL
details are hidden in the transport layer below your HTML transaction.
OTOH, IE and mod_ssl have known problems.  You can find possible
solutions in the mod_ssl faq.

There should be no difference between data that comes from a database,
flat file, or enbedded in the program when it is sent to the browser.
Once it is sent there should be no way to tell where it came from.


Here are three questions you need to answer.  You should be able to
determine the problem once you know the answers to all three.  If not,
post again and maybe we can help.


It does not work with Internet Exploder, does it work with other
browsers?

It does not work with SSL connections, does it work with non SSL
connections?

It does not work from MySQL, does it work with data embedded in the PHP
program?

[PHP-DB] Streaming a file from DB over SSL using IE

2001-01-30 Thread Beau Lebens

Hi all,
Just a quick one, is there anyone out there who has managed to successfully 
store a file (other than text) in a database (I am using MySQL) and then 
stream it out dynamically to a user, on an SSL enabled server, to a client 
using Internet Explorer?

I have tried nearly everything I could possibly think of (a couple really 
dodgy work-arounds remain..) to no avail. Currently my system works for 
every browser under the sun (including lynx surprisingly!) except i cannot 
download any of the files saved in the database on an IE client.

Thanks
Beau
