Win98, first edition, v 4.10.1998 64MB RAM 

IE 6.0 build 6.0.2600.0000IC Product ID 55736-364-34-5826-04003 updates: Q321232 

Acrobe 5.0.5 9/24/2001 Browser plugin v 5.0.5 09/10/2001 03:27 

I have two machines, the one above on Win98, the other on ME, but versions of IE/Adobe software are identical as are all settings in IE's Internet Options, and Adobe's Edit->Preferences. 

On the ME box, I can view https://-based files, but on Win98, I am unable to open them, I get a dialog box opening up trying to open or save the file and it just sits there and nothing happens. If I request the exact same file from the non-secure side of the server (same file, it's accessible as secure and non-secure), it works just fine, the Acrobat plug-in loads, and the non-secure PDF displays in the browser. 

This is a serious problem for us since we cannot make these PDF's non-secure for our users to download as they will contain sensitive data. 

Any ideas would be most helpful. 

We even ran AOL on the Win98 machine, but looks like it just hooks into IE6 on the system for its browser capabilities, and displays the exact same bahavior (PDF downloads and vews just fine from the non-secure site (http://) but not from the secure site (https://). 

Thanks, Ian
