    Hi!

    I switched from an NT-box to a LINUX server, both running apache 1.3.27 and php 4.2.3.
    Now, I have this strange behavior with attachments:
    If I attach a gif or bmp file I can view the attachment perfectly.
    Trying to open/save an Office document (ppt, xls) I get an error "cannot open / download".

    Has anybody an explantation for this behavior?

    Once again, it works perfectly with NT and on LINUX with mime type "image" but not "application".

      I tracked down the problem but could not solve it so far:

      The reason for not being able to download attachments of mime type "application" seems to be that I switched to a SSL-encrypted version of my web server. When talking to the server over a nonencrypted connection everything works fine.

      Conclusion:
      Must have something to do with mod_ssl

      If anybody has a suggestion for a solution of my https problem I would greatly appreciate it.
