Summary	0012841: Can't download attachments with IE over SSL behind SSL appliances / SSL Offloading load balancers
Description	Hi, This is closely related to bug 7914. If Mantis is placed behind some iAM SSL appliance or any application doing SSL offloading (like Cisco ACE load balancers), it's impossible to download attachments with IE. In our case, the frontend is in HTTPS (at the iAM level), while the backend is still working in HTTP. As a result, $_SERVER["HTTPS"] is not set on the backend. In order for Mantis to work behind our Novell iAM appliance, I had to limit the checks to $_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]. Regards swa
