Description

Internet Explorer does not normally cache items from HTTPS sites, so cannot store PDF documents prior to launching Adobe Reader.
See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323308

Change JasperReportsResult.java ~ line 285 to add the following:

        if ("https".equalsIgnoreCase(request.getScheme()))
		{
        	// set the the HTTP Header to work around IE SSL weirdness
        	response.setHeader("CACHE-CONTROL", "PRIVATE");
        	response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "maxage=3600");
        	response.setHeader("Pragma", "public");
        	response.setHeader("Accept-Ranges", "none");
		}
