Opening media over https does not work in IE 8 (.xls)
Hi,
We just launched a new intranet site in umbraco and have encountered a problem. When adding .xls files to the media section and adding them as links throughout the site they cannot be opened in IE8 over HTTPS. If I go through HTTP instead in IE 8 it works as expected. We have a certificate from verisign. Using umbraco 4.7.0.
Excel or any other Office applications extensions are not default part of MIME type setup on IIS and in some cases you see that message. Sometimes it get compensated on the client side but not always. As you see with HTTP request. As soon as you switched to HTTPS you need MIME type defined in IIS. And your SSL certificate applied to the root website not just specific folder,right?
We have probablt located the issue. It seemed to be in the package MediaProtect. I have contacted the developer Richard Soeteman and he have alredat sent me a fix to try out. It has something to do with the header not beeing set correctly for excel files in IE 8 + MediaProtect.
In Mediaprotect I need to set the caching disabled otherwise users can logout and documents still be opened from Cache. Tommy and I are working something out. It's only in Ie8 btw

I get "Cannot open file ...........xls".
Have anyone had the same problem?

Did you add MIME type .xls in IIS for this site?
