IE : Unable to download * from *. Unable to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found

Question

I have an issue with my website and IE. I have a file Document.ashx that becomes a document from my database depending on the parameter passed in the query

Answer 1

What's all the fuss about ? The issue is due to immediate cache expiration or no-cache.

Do the following to fix the issue:

Goto server system -> Run Inetmgr -> RightClick and properties on the folder(e.g images) -> httpHeaders -> Now Either uncheck Enable content expiration, or check Expire after and give 1 min.

This is for IIS 5.

There will be similar setting for IIS 6/7.

Happy programming!!
