File is opened instead of download in IE9. servlet.FileDownload problem.
I have a page with a button Create
<apex:commandButton value="Create" action="{!CreateLic}" >
and controller which search for specific file then puts it for download.
fileURL = '/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=' + att.Id; // where att.id is an attachement for a custom object record.
PageReference pr = new PageReference(fileURL);
pr.setRedirect(false);
return pr;
File is an binary encypted file with name as xxxx.lic so no text content.
This triggers file download dialog for Chrome and Firefox which is correct but Internet Explorer 9 (win 7) is trying to display content on a page it results in lot of characters displayed on the page as shown on image and no download possibility.
As an IE is a company standard we nedd to support it.
Is there a way to fix that?
