Couple of days back I got a complaint from one of the client who recently changed their deployment for one of the Portal we have been developing and the complaint was "Portal does not work in Internet Explorer." The same old great song.

I looked at the error, users were unable to download files from Portal over secure-HTTP (HTTPS). I tried it couple of times and found that it's not working really. Error was consistent from IE6 to IE8.

We have to fix this and to begin with I just googled-up with the error message I was getting. "Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later." Thankfully I got decent amount of Google search results and in first 2 or 3 I found a post from Mark Kolich sharing his similar experience with Internet Explorer and digging in more about that bug.

You can read more about this on Mark's post here on his website. But simple enough it was just a one line fix for the PHP guys. Yes, we have to add following line to get rid of the error message.

header("Pragma: ");

Simply just remove the Pragma headers from your force-download code and you're done.

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 - Preview has been made available for download. Though you won't be able to use it in your day to day browsing as of yet as it is in quite row format without any navigational/address bar. We have to click Page > Open > Type in the Web URL to open. Beta series should start in couple of months once things are better managed for end users. Currently it's for enthusiasts who wants to see and test their website/web-app behavior in IE9.

Internet Explorer9 is supposed to be a new breed of browser from Microsoft which would complies with Standards, Faster Javascript in comparison to previous IE versions, HTML5, CSS3, SVG and much more..!

I would like to post one wired and interesting issue I faced before few days.

Recently I was deploying one of my project on client end. Basically it was a Web Application but unlike other setups they were going to use that by terminal access. Meaning that all Users of the Portal will be having unique login into their(client's) Windows Network Domain and users will be logging into the Portal by logging into the Server machine first with given Windows domain credentials and then to the Portal.

This setup seems to be easy and no worry as whole portal will be accessed via LOCALHOST only..! Looks odd for any web-application though but that was the requirement for the client (keeping their security concerns in mind).

I have been given Administrative User to login to the server machine and setup everything. I did setup and did my post implementation testing on the machine with my user. Everything seems to be working as expected and I gave green flag to my superior.

Later on I have been buzzed with 2 issues from the Client.

  1. Portal is not working in Internet Explorer at all.
  2. Users are not able to download files from my Portal.

I asked for login details they used for testing and which they were actually going to give to their Users.
