Oracle WebCenter Portal - Version 11.1.1.6.0 to 11.1.1.9.210720 [Release 11g]Information in this document applies to any platform.
Symptoms
When clicking on Download of certain documents (xlsx, pptx and pdf) in Spaces then immediately a Windows popup error like this is raised:
The error shown in a browser popup is something like this (translated from Spanish):
"Unable to download "filename" from "host"
It's not possible to open this internet site (I attach a screenshot)
In the same time the following JS exception is shown in IE:
Agente de usuario: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/4.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; Tablet PC 2.0; InfoPath.3; Zune 4.7)

Other documents like xls or ppt can be downloaded successfully.
The issue only occurs in IE 7 (not reproduced in OWC) and 8 (reproduced). The same works fine in IE 9.
Spaces is front-ended by a Web Tier, but there are no other components involved.
When accessing Spaces directly on Spaces port then the issue does not reproduce.
IE HTTP Header Trace shows the following:
The following Accept headers are present when it works:
Accept: image/jpeg, application/x-ms-application, image/gif, application/xaml+xml, image/pjpeg, application/x-ms-xbap, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/msword, */*
The same line looks like this when it fails:
Accept: */*
So the following Accept Headers are missing when it fails:
image/jpeg, application/x-ms-application, image/gif, application/xaml+xml, image/pjpeg, application/x-ms-xbap, application/vnd.ms-excel, application/vnd.ms-powerpoint, application/msword
