Saving/Updating Documents in WebCenter spaces does not work with IE8 in HTTPS environment

[Vaibhav Rastogi]

Saving/Updating Documents in WebCenter spaces 11g does not work with IE8. Recently we found that it works for http environment but does not work for https. It is working fine with IE9.

 

This brings us to this document from Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316431

CAUSE:

In order for Internet Explorer to open documents in Office (or any out-of-process, ActiveX document server), Internet Explorer must save the file to the local cache directory and ask the associated application to load the file by using IPersistFile::Load. If the file is not stored to disk, this operation fails.

When Internet Explorer communicates with a secure Web site through SSL, Internet Explorer enforces any no-cache request. If the header or headers are present, Internet Explorer does not cache the file. Consequently, Office cannot open the file.

RESOLUTIONS SUGGESTED BY MICROSOFT:

 

Web sites that want to allow this type of operation should remove the no-cache header or headers.

 

 

So Our question is how can we make it work with HTTPS? Any workaround?
