I have a WebExcelExporter attached to a databound webdatagrid. Works fine until I put the site under SSL. Once that happens I can no longer download the excel file. The download looks to start as I get the dialoque to save or open but that is quickly followed by an error message that says "Unable to download {file} from site {site}. Unable to open this internet site.". Are there any known issues with using the Excel Exporter with HTTPS?
Hello nhutchinson,
Please check the following thread regarding this issue - http://forums.infragistics.com/forums/p/50307/264522.aspx.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
The thread is a solution for the client that directs me to an MSDN article on how to add the BypassSSLNoCacheCheck value in the registry. are there changes that can be made as part of the page directives? such as <%@ OutputCache ...%> Also, as a test, I loaded an excel file onto the websites and am able to click and download it with no issue, so it seems there is nothing configured in IIS that would prevent the download of the file.
Hi nhutchinson,
If you have "Cache-control:no-store" or "Cache-control:no-cache" http headers, you should remove them.
Let me know if this helps.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
Nikolay,
What if you don't have either "Cache-control:no-store" or "Cache-control:no-cache" http headers set? Is there something else that can be done other than modifying the client machine registry?
I'm experiencing the same issue where I cannot export in IE8 over SSL. In IE9, it works fine but we support both of these broser versions.
Thanks,
Karen
