Hi,

My application have these headers added in IIS:
Pragma:No-cache
Cache-control: No-cache, no-store

That's what we want for all pages except for when we need to allow users to
download pdf file; with those headers; IE would not be able to get the pdf
file because it needs to store the file locally. Is there a way to overwrite
the headers for only a few pages ?

thank you very much

Easiest way would be to put all these files into a single folder (or
folders).

And then in IIS Manager, configure that folder to not have those HTTP
headers added.

Cheers
Ken

It depends on how you added those headers:
- If your application code adds the headers, then you should fix the
application code to not add the headers for downloadable files.
- If you use HttpCustomHeaders to add the headers to static files,
then you can use HttpCustomHeaders for each file and selectively
disable the added headers
- In all cases, you can write ISAPI Filter to overwrite the response
headers, but this is the most expensive and least performant method.
