No pdf save with IE8 by ssl

[jochen]

We use the Stimulsoft Reports.Net. Our webaplication have a preview site to view the reports. Now with the IE8 Browser we can’t save the preview output to pdf or excel. The problem is only when we use the IE8 with ssl (https). If we use no ssl we can save the preview output to pdf or excel. With Firefox and IE9 there is no problem.
The error message is:
“Unable to download ReportPView.aspx from localhost
Unable to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unenviable or cannot be found. Please try again later.”
Have you a solution for us?

Hello,

Please specify which version of the product you are using? Also please indicate if you are using data compression on the server side.

Thank you.

Hello,

Please indicate if you are using data compression on the server side. If so, try disabling compression.

As well let us know the value of properties and options that you set.
Try to set the following items (not necessarily all at once, check each option separately):

StiOptions.Web.AllowUseResponseFlush = false;
StiOptions.Web.ClearResponseHeaders = true;
StiReportResponse.ResponseCacheTimeout = 0;
StiOptions.Engine.FullTrust = false;

Thank you.

Hello
now i have tested all items.
The data compression is off.
And the other items there have have no better results.
By the Option StiOptions.Engine.FullTrust = false; an exeption is set see below

Hello,

We tested the export report on HTTPS connection, everything works correctly. For testing we used the IIS 7.
Perhaps important any other settings. Please describe the settings of your IIS that affect the export report. We will set them for our test IIS.

Thank you.

Hello,
Now I have found a solution for the problem with IE8 and https.
We used the option “StiReportResponse.ResponseCacheTimeout = 0”
With this settings we have the error with the IE8 and https by save a PDF-file.
To set “StiReportResponse.ResponseCacheTimeout = 1” there are no more errors by save as PDF.

Thank you for your help.
