I have a very simple which is working in CF8 using IE10

<CFHEADER NAME="Content-Disposition" VALUE="inline; filename=sammy.jpg">

<CFCONTENT TYPE="application/unknown"

    DELETEFILE="No"

    FILE="c:\inetpub\mysite\sammy.jpg"

  reset="Yes">

I recently upgraded to CF11 and now the same code is not working on IE10, but amusingly it is working in Chrome and Firefox.

Any clue?

    How is it not working? Does it just not do anything? Do you get an error?

    Is your version of Coldfusion 11 fully updated to HF5?

    Is this being executed over HTTPS?

    Is the file always a JPEG image?  Try changing  the TYPE to: image/jpeg

    sdsinc_pmascari,

    I am serving the file from database so it could be anything. The "application/unknown" works perfectly when I use CF8 / IE10

    I'm still thinking IE is having trouble with the MIME type.  Try your image with a correct MIME type to see if it works in IE.  If it does then that's your answer and you'll need to figure out a way to include proper MIME types going forward.
