Internet Explorer 10 Internet Explorer 9 More Need more help? Still don't know how it got there, but setting Pragma: token fixed it. You're a life saver! It's so late to comment here but where are you finding documentation for "Pragma: token?

So instead of falling back to private which allows certain caching and might not fit with your security needs use: Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate When specified in that exact order - first no-store THEN no-cache - IE8 will allow the file download without error. I just upvoted this, but that was only on the belief that it would work.

Unfortunately in our testing it didn't, we have to go for Cache-Control: private or refactor our code. We ended up with no-store and Pragma: private as described here: stackoverflow. We had to both fix the "Cache-Control" value order and remove the Pragma header. We ran into this issue; indeed the exact order did matter, I tested it both ways and it failed if it was out of order.

To resolve the issue in my application, I had to add the following two headers to the download written in PHP : header "Cache-Control: private" ; header "Pragma: cache" ;.

I tried a bunch of different headers including "Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate" , and none made any difference except for this. Me too with ie 8, same problem, same solution. Well done Dan. David David 69 1 1 silver badge 2 2 bronze badges.

What's all the fuss about? The issue is due to immediate cache expiration or no-cache. This is for IIS 5. Happy programming!! Dhananjay pal Dhananjay pal 39 2 2 bronze badges.

I just went back to 11 last week. No problems at all downloading items. Very bizarre. Did think this might be an authentication issue but cant find anything We have to move to IE11 for ongoing support from MS.

Anyone got a fix for this yet? The only thing we have found that fixes it is to format the computer unfortunately. I am glad to know I'm not the only one with the exact problem. There has to be something wrong with a reg entry, a system file, or something corrupt either from IE9 or 10 or during the install of 10 or I've deleted many registry entries, many system files, and done lots of cleaning and have not had any luck so far except by formatting.

Jumped thru all the hoops, compatibility settings crap etc. Just another MS product gone into the toilet. Good job Bill. Your awesome.
