I ran into a pretty interesting issue today. (This is a follow up of my earlier post ). I was trying to download some text file from our application using IE6. Suddenly I get a very unexpected error:
Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.
I was super surprised because I was 100% the file was there. Did some research online, and it seems to be related to this issue

It seems that when you download from an SSL session, and IE6 can't save it temporarily to disk locally, it has issues. Lucky for me, this is an internal application, and I could just my users to ensure their browser settings are as below.
You can get to here from Tools > Internet Options > Advanced. Scroll down to the bottom in the Security section. And look for “Do not save encrypted pages to disk”. Make sure this is turned OFF
