Internet Explorer can't download docs using HTTPS

IE has a bug (Microsoft calls it feature
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=316431) when using https protocol user cant download Office documents if server response has cache control headers. OpenKM uses JBoss application server where http(s) request are served by Apache Tomcat. This product has some instruments to fix this IE behavior (
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show ... i?id=27122). But OpenKM OKMDownloadServlet forcibly
adds cache control headers and IE users cant use OpenKM securely. I suggest to add some
ifs in OKMDownloadServlet code to skip these headers for some user browsers and some file types.

We\'ll try to solve this bug, really like you suggest is not really difficult. We\'ll correct as so fastly on cvs, but next release ( on war ) it\'ll need some extra time because we\'re waiting for some new language translations and it\'ll be released all together. When it\'ll be solved on cvs I\'ll post here.
We\'re really tired with IE family, it\'s the browsers enemy. Really since OpenKM 1.0 we\'ve been dropped some code ( like count file size while uploading, etc... ) because on IE the we\'ll done code not runs ... why ? obviously Microsoft goes to their way and finally however the problems on developer hands, it\'s really tedious.
