Hi
I have the website https://adenforecast.com/ with SSL Certified but in the Member Area I have a link without SSL because I know that IE has problem from download some pdf document from the website that have SSL.
The link is http://adenforecast.com/files/adenfull/Newsletter/news_current.pdf
But when the Members try download the document from this link in Internet Explorer the system show the next message Internet Explorer cannot download index.php from adenforecast.com.
Could you help me please.
Sorry for my bad english.AITpro AdminKeymasterIt looks like you have either a Membership plugin or theme site. Is your Membership plugin or theme handling/managing file downloads? If so, what is the name of your Membership plugin or theme? Is another plugin or theme handling/managing file downloads? If so, what is the name of the plugin or theme?
Do the BPS Pro Troubleshooting steps in the link below to either confirm or dismiss BPS Pro as causing this issue/problem. Or to isolate which BPS Pro security feature is causing this issue/problem.
http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/read-me-first-pro/#bps-pro-general-troubleshootingHave you checked your BPS Pro Security Log for errors related to file downloads? If you see errors related to file downloads in your Security Log then post ONLY Security Log entries related to file downloads – Please DO NOT post your entire Security Log.

http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/security-log-http-error-log-read-me-first/AITpro AdminKeymasterI just reread your Post. Is this problem ONLY occurring with the Internet Explorer Browser? Do the downloads work in other Browsers? Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.?
Roberto GomezParticipantYes the problem is only with IE
AITpro AdminKeymasterI have renamed the Title of the Topic to a more relevant Topic Title.
Now how are downloads handled? Are you manually putting files for download in a folder or is a plugin or theme handling this. If you are doing this manually then you probably just need to add some .htaccess code/file in that folder that will force downloads to work in IE. If a plugin or theme is handling this then php code would need to be added to that plugin or theme code.
AITpro AdminKeymasterTo force a file download with .htaccess code you would use this code.
Source: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Htaccess_tricks#Force_File_Download
<FilesMatch "\.(mov|mp3|jpg|pdf)$"> ForceType application/octet-stream Header set Content-Disposition attachment </FilesMatch>
Roberto GomezParticipantOK let me see.
thksRoberto GomezParticipantHi Guys
The fix not work.
I put this code in default.htaccess but not workAITpro AdminKeymasterThis would not be a fix since the issue/problem has nothing to do with BPS Pro.
You would probably need to create a custom solution/custom code for your particular issue/problem with IE downloads on your website. Before I can attempt to help you for this non BPS Pro issue you will need to answer these questions below.
Is the IE file download problem occurring on both Mac’s and PC’s.
How are downloads handled on your website?
How are downloads handled in the Members area on your website?
Are you manually putting files for download in a folder or is a plugin or theme handling this?
Please explain everything from start to finish with exact specific details of how downloads are done/processed on your website. -
