Hi,

I'm trying to investigate a problem wher IE does not offer to open a item
downloaded via https. So far can only reproduce on Windows 2003 Server
_Enterprise Edition_ with SP1 installed. Could not repro with Standard
Edition.

Can be reproduced like this:
On some other server:
Create a text file called test.foobar in an IIS virtual directory
Register a mime type of "application/x-foobar" in IIS for this extension.
Use explorer on the Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition SP1 machine:
Register notepad as the application that opens .foobar files
Use IE on the Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition SP1 machine:
Use http to browse to the test.foobar file - IE will offer to Open, Save
or Cancel
Use https to the same file and IE will only offer Save or Cancel

Anyone know why this might be?

Cheers,
Richard.
