Issue Description:

If you setup a download link for each report like below in IE6, it works fine when you download the data like below: OBIEE could transform mhtml data format to the desired the data format ( in this case it is an excel file).

    1. BypassSSLNoCacheCheck=Dword:00000001
    2. BypassHTTPNoCacheCheck=Dword:00000001

To create registry values, right click > New > DWORD Value


4. Name the first registry value, “BypassSSLNoCacheCheck”. Create another registry value “BypassHTTPNoCacheCheck” using the same method


5. Set value for “BypassSSLNoCacheCheck” to 1



6. Set value for “BypassHTTPNoCacheCheck” to 1



7.  The values should look like  below:
