[EP-tech] Word Documents won't download
Hi James,
You should note that the whiterose URL is http rather than https.? I
have tested (on Chrome) the same URL I was testing before but with http
rather than https and this worked just fine. This is starting to suggest
to me some security feature (albeit maybe a bit broken) within Chrome.?
From the depths of my brain I am vaguely recall some issue to do with
content length mismatches that exhibited similar symptoms.
Regards
David Newman
