When I click the "Export to CSV file" link at the bottom of an Ubercart report, it works fine in Firefox, but Internet Explorer (6, 7, and Cool give the error,

Internet Explorer was not able to download 1 from [domain name].
The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.

Note that IE thinks the name of the file is 1 (the last part of the URL), rather than the actual file name. This leads me to suspect the file headers are not being sent correctly. I'll look into it myself, but I wanted to post the issue here because no one seems to have done so yet.

never mind, it's an SSL problem

Turns out this problem is in IE's support for SSL, not in Ubercart. I found this article:
http://joseph.randomnetworks.com/archives/2004/10/01/making-ie-accept-fi...
and as soon as I saw that SSL was part of his setup I realized it was part of mine as well. So I tried accessing the same report through an insecure URL, and it works like a charm.

But on the off chance that someone out there has an Ubercart site that's only accessible through SSL, and they only use Internet Explorer for some reason, the solution in the article above may be helpful.
