Is there a way of downloading .cer files like you would do with .doc or .MP3I'm using IIS 6.0 on a Windows 2003 Std, I have created Virtual Directory
called test\ and in there I have index.htm and also web.cer (web.cer is the certificate that I want my users to download for there PDA's) the index.htm displays OK but when I click on to the link that points to web.cer I don't get an option to download I get gibberish like shown below displayed in my browser same happens if I right click and save as..

action for the client computer? look at the - windows explorer - tool - folder option, file types, find .cer ... for open, the action should be - rundll32.exe cryptext.dll,CryptExtOpenCER %1 then after you save as and downloaded, input to your cert store. In order to view the Certificates store on the local computer, perform the following steps: 1. Click Start, and then click Run. 2. Type "MMC.EXE" (without the quotation marks) and click OK. 3. Click Console in the new MMC you created, and then click Add/Remove Snap-in. 4. In the new window, click Add. 5. Highlight the Certificates snap-in, and then click Add. 6.

mistery. If I remove .cer from MIME types on the actual server everything works fine apart from the new Vodafone VPA's with pocket IE. On these devices I cannot check explorer settings at all. it works OK on everything else. What I get is HTTP Error 406 The resource cannot be displayed The resource you are looking for cannot be opened by your browser because it has a file name extension that your browser doesn't accept. This is the web site with my stuff https://webmail.redcats.co.uk/setup/ If I put .cer back in to the MIME of the IIS server I get the gibberish like I described in the previous post.

It
is up to the client device to work out what to do with the information (e.g. prompt you to do something, display it as plain text etc). The only way IIS could be influencing this is if it sends different headers and/or data to different devices. you could verify this by using a packet capture tool (e.g. Ethereal from www.ethereal.com). Capture the HTTP data sent to a device where it works, and to the device where it's not working. If the HTTP headers, and the HTTP data is the same, then I think you have a client device issue.
