This happened to me once while developing a J2EE application, but I
think it will apply here as well.
Try changing value for "expires". You can try making it something like
30 minutes to start with and then if that works, lower the value to few
seconds.
What IE does, in my opinion, is that it downloads the file first to disk
cache before it opens it. But as soon as download is finished, it
realizes that the content is supposed to be expire in 0 seconds, so it
doesn't display anything.
If I am correct, it used to give file not found error in older versions.
Try it and let me know. I am curious as well.
