FIX: Internet Explorer may incorrectly display a File Download dialog box instead of a requested Web page when you use an HTTP 1.0 proxy on a Windows CE 4.2-based device (918556)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows CE .NET 4.2

SYMPTOMS

On a Microsoft Windows CE 4.2-based device, Microsoft Internet Explorer may incorrectly display a File Download dialog box instead of a requested Web page when you use an HTTP 1.0 proxy.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because Internet Explorer incorrectly sends "gzip/deflate" as a valid content type. This content type is not handled by all HTTP 1.0 proxies. Therefore, Internet Explorer may receive incorrect data and may display a File Download dialog box instead of the requested Web page.
