#25 Resolution: IE5/6 dwnld attachments fail

[Alessio Fiore]

I had problems downloading attachments, especially ms
office documents, with IE5.5 and webmail 0.7.7. The
problem resides in a microsoft interpretation of no-
cache http directive applied to client cache. For more
details see:

I worked around the problem (declared as "by design"
in ms support site) modifying webmail server
(net.wastl.webmail.server.WebMailServer and
net.wastl.webmail.server.http.HTTPHeader classes),
remarking two lines (that set the "no-cache" header in
response) and adding one:

//res.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache");
//res.setHeader("Cache-Control","must-revalidate");
res.setHeader("Cache-Control","max-age=1");

Now it works with IE5.5
