I have a question which is foxing the best in our organization and any assistance with cracking it will be greatly appreciated. Please note I am not a system engineer on any of these platforms, but at the business facing end so by no means an expert.

We have two Intranet applications. Lets Call them IR and PG to protect their identity. Both are within the internal firewall as are all the users. Both are served up via IE11. IR is a Unix based app and PG a Windows/IIS based app. And both allow the user to download reports in Excel format and ordinarily display the yellow popup Open/Save/Cancel when the report has been downloaded.

We have users for both these in Locations B and L. For what ever reason, users in Location B cannot access EXTERNAL websites, except where those sites are on a whitelist.. Users in L can, by and large access any website unless its blacklisted, and blacklisting applies to everyone.

Users in Location B are NOT able to download the reports for Application PG. Nothing appears in the Download folder, no error is generated or logged etc. On the very same machine, a user in Location L can download Excel files as expected If we take the user out of the AD group which restricts them to the whitelisted sites, they can also download Excel files.

BUT we have confirmed using the IE debug functionality that no external URL's are being called, a fact confirmed by the vendor of application PG.

The very same users are ALSO users of application IR and they can download Excel reports from IR when they are in the whitelist restriction AD group.

We have checked the proxy logs and there is no evidence of anything hitting the proxy and being rejected.

We have tried with both Chrome and iE11. Same result,

Any leads or ideas would be very much appreciated.

I just installed IE9 (public release), and I'm seeing a pop-up at the bottom of the browser window that states:

"The 'Virtual Storage Mount Notification' add-on from 'EldoS Corporation' is ready for use."

Does anyone know what this is exactly?

Windows Media Player 12 Leaving DAT Files In IE8 and above

≪ Previous: What is "The 'virtual storage mount notification' add-on from 'eldos corporation'

Hi,

Windows Media Player 12 in IE8+ is leaving DAT files into the random folders like %AppData%\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Low\Content.IE5\CL4PNA4P\20110412161249[1].dat when playing WMV content.

This same content when played back by Windows Media Player 11 in IE6 or IE7 leaves back the original WMV files.

How can I configure WMP12 in IE8+ to do the same thing i.e. leaving WMV files instead of DAT files in the temporary IE folder on the client machine?

FYI, I am playing WMV files in IE8 from a website on a Windows 7 SP1 machine using WMP12 which leaves DAT files. The same content when browsed using the Windows XP SP3 and WMP11 from IE7 leaves WMV files in the temporary IE cache.

Please help...

Thanks,

Amit Chugh

SSL Cerificate not prompting to choose in IE11.

July 27, 2015, 8:42 pm

≫ Next: Cannot load an audio file in IE11.

≪ Previous: IE 11

Hi Guys,

I've been struggling to know how the IE or windows system behaves while SSL used for webservice call. As far as I know its simple to install pfx or p12 file into personal truststore and then install the Root singer certificates in Trusted root authorities. Now the problem Im facing is that I have 3 personal (key(pfx)) files installed in the Personal store and while accessing the webserivce url with mutual authentication, IE11 use to prompt which certificate should you use and I had selected respective certificates. While troubleshooting the issue I have removed 2 of 3 and tested with no success. Now I imported the other 2 that I removed and surprisinggly its not prompting to choose certificates as it did earlier. So is there any option that tells IE to use any default pfx or should we remove all of them and export again in the order that we want ??

Cannot load an audio file in IE11.

≪ Previous: SSL Cerificate not prompting to choose in IE11.

Audio is not getting loaded in IE 11. 
In IE11 the problem is, though the loadstart event is getting started, but is never getting finished.
So if you see my code, the durationchange event is never loaded.
Notes :

Using virtual box to test my application.
Getting a 206 partial content status code.(Same as other browsers).
Using mpga file format. Tried with mp3, but the same result.
Works in other browsers.
Request Range: bytes=0-.(Same as other browsers).
Response Range: bytes= 0-3295557(content length is 3.3MB). (Same as other browsers).
Received 3.14MB. (Same as other browsers).
Getting media source not supported error, for both mp3 and mpga.

Code Sample :

// New audio file
const audioFile = new Audio(audioSrc);

// Set handlers if audio exists
if (audioSrc !== '') {
audioFile.addEventListener('durationchange', this.setDisplayLock);
audioFile.addEventListener('play', this.setIsPlaying);
audioFile.addEventListener('pause', this.setIsPaused);
audioFile.addEventListener('timeupdate', this.setCurrentTime);
audioFile.addEventListener('ended', this.setIsEnded);
}

IE 11 Memory Limit

≪ Previous: Cannot load an audio file in IE11.

I've ran into an issue where Internet Explorer 11 appears to have a memory limit. I'm loading multiple video viewers in my page, but when the memory hits about 1.4 or 1.5GB, no new video feeds will load. It also appears that other functionality in my page also stops working.

Is there a limit on how much memory Internet Explorer uses, and if so, is there a way to increase this? The memory usage on the machine itself is fine. It's sitting around 30%. I'm trying to view this from a Windows Server 2016 machine.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
