I have an intranet from which I am trying to launch a PDF. That site uses a nonstandard port for HTTPS. The URL is in this format: https://intranet:1234/files/test.pdf This is the proper form per RFC 1738.
However Reader XI ignores this custom port designation. The request fails, and a packet capture shows it is trying to talk on TCP 443.
The same link opens fine in Reader X and Reader 9.
Is this a bug or a configuration change I need to make in the application?
