Error: Internet Explorer cannot download ...ed.ReportViewerWebControl.axd from site

Question

I have created a local report and used ReportViewer Web control. The Export to Excel and PDF functionality is working fine on developer machine. But I am getting the above error in test environment. I have installed .Net 2.0 and ran Reportviewer.exe on test machine.

Any one can know the solution for this?

Answer 1

I know this is a pretty old post, but seeing as it never got answered and doing other web searches I havent seen an answer I thought Id put my 2cents in..

 

I recently experienced the exact same error message in my app. My issue, which may not be the same as yours, was a SSL problem.

 

My production environment for the report is SSL protected, so the issue is a browser cache issue. As I understand it, SSL docuemtns generally wont cache. Since SSL wont cache the secured document there is nothing to reference, resulting in the error message.

 

Solution:

 

From Internet Explorer, go to: tools/internet options/advanced/got to the security section/uncheck “do not save encrypted pages”

 

This solved the issue for me. If you are not in an SSL environment, then i guess this probable wont work for you!!

Answer 3

Thats weird... I'm having this problem too, and my "do not save encrypted pages" option was already unchecked... I tried checking it, and that obviously didn't help. Clearing temp internet files didn't help either.

Hi All,

This problem gave me such big headache for 2 days. Finally I resolved it.

This is the issue with setting http header as "pragma: no-cache". This can be either in the IIS being set under http-header> custom header, or might be setting inside code. I was setting that inside code. Fiddler (www.fiddler.com) tool helped me in finding whether my page was sending http header with no-cache. The I commented the code and compiled my application. The problem was gone.

Hi

My application runs in an SSL environment. My "do not save encrypted pages" option is unchecked. I couldn't find any of the following in my conf files as well:

Pragma: no-cache

Cache-control: no-cache,max-age=0,must-revalidate

Can you please help me understand whether this header will be present in the httpd.conf of in some other conf file. Also mine is a html-perl setup with the help of mod-perl. I am trying to figure out a way in which I can add custom headers for my app in order to avoid error appearing in GUI for cross site scripting while using IE8. Can anyone please advice?

Thanks Isaac, I was having the same issue 3 years on.  This tick box solved it and at the same time, resolved my other issue.  In SharePoint, Actions/Export to Spreadsheet, would only let me save the IQY file that I'd then have to browse for and reopen.  I now have the option to Open directly from Internet Explorer without the messing around.

Solution:

 

From Internet Explorer, go to: tools/internet options/advanced/got to the security section/uncheck “do not save encrypted pages”

 

This solved the issue for me. If you are not in an SSL environment, then i guess this probable wont work for you!!
