Although the error message is worded slightly different "Unable to download Summary.aspx from localhost. Unable to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.", it appears to be basically the same error we are getting when exporting an ssrs report on a secured site. I do not have "Do not save encrypted pages to disk" checked. Are you aware of any other fixes for this error?
