Cannot download file from a https address using android phone

Question

1. I set up an Apache server which accept a HTTPs connection (on my local)
2. Create a very simple html file which contains this code: <a href="Menu.doc">download</a>
3. Using PC, go to address ' https://localhost ', click on the link, I can download the file "Menu.doc".
4. But when using native web browser or even chrome on an android phone, I can NOT download this file. I can see the "starting download" message, but then it "hang on" with state "in progress" forever.
5. If I choose a download manager app (on my phone) such as ESdownloader, I can download it.
6. When I try downloading a file from a HTTPS address ( https://cloudsecurityalliance.org/csaguide.pdf ) using this phone, everything is OK

Why and how to fix it? Maybe I need some config to my server or some code (PHP, Java) on the server side to handle the download request?

Answer 1

You https server is a certified authority signed or self-signed server? Maybe the problem is with the certificate. Please read this thread
