We have a server that has ssl forced - e.g., any requests for http://our.server.edu/ are automatically redirected to https://our.server.edu/. That creates a problem with the security checking code, as it tries to open a socket to port 80 on the same server, receives a 302, and concludes that the file is accessible. I'm attaching a patch to fix this issue...

thanks,

Adrian

I am unable to download private files in Internet Explorer on pages secured via SSL. I tried to implement this patch (I acknowledge it is for an earlier version) but it does not seem to help.

I can't believe it's been outstanding this long.
Works for me.

Ha, it's been years since I even thought of this patch. It looks like the last commit on this project was 2 years ago, so I'm not sure if the project's being maintained. The process would be to first set this patch to RTBC if you have tested it and determined that it works well when applied to the latest -dev version. Then, if the maintainer does not respond, you'll want to follow the steps here: http://drupal.org/node/251466
