Thank you sooo much. Its taken me 2 days to fix this problem - I might have guessed it was a bug in IE that is now at least 4 years old and has travelled from IE6 to IE7 and now IE8!

Why oh why don’t MS give up on IE and force people to use browsers that actually work!

Problem was solved in php by putting:
header(”Cache-Control: cache, must-revalidate”);
header(”Pragma: public”);
after
session_start();

Thanks again!

Thanx for the information. After some testing the “sessioncachelimiter” in php was causing the xml file to be cached indefinitely.

Thanks for this hint. Setting the Cache-Control header to “private” instead of “no-cache” solved this problem.

I have a great idea. All those in the web design/dev arena decide on a date when we all stop using ie6. It will be a unified push to get rid of the enemy. I think we have pandered to its oppresive regine far too long, lets stand up for “ie must die day”, spread the word!

Thanks ever so much for posting this, as it was turning what should have been a simple HTTP -> HTTPS migration into a major pain in the rear.

A few quick PHP headers later and the problem was solved.

I’m going to fill this comment with as many keywords as possible on the offchance I need to Google for this page again at some point the future. Apologies for that.

We’re running Oracle’s Apex (Application Express) software on a number of servers behind a Zeus ZXTM load balancing solution. The load balancers add in an SSL layer and rewrite all HTTP requests to HTTPS. Communication between the load balancers and the Apex servers is just HTTP (i.e. there’s no SSL on the web servers themselves).

We were having problems getting the Flash charts on any of the pages to load/appear when running IE. They’d appear perfectly with Firefox or Opera. Oddly, when going to the servers directly (i.e. not through the load balancers, coincidently bypassing the SSL layer too) IE did work.

After some Googling I found this page and after reading the comments was able to create a very simple ‘response’ rule with Zeus’ TrafficScript scripting language which gave us a solution:

http.setResponseHeader(”Cache-Control”,”cache, must-revalidate”);
http.setResponseHeader(”Pragma”,”public”);

Many thanks!

This also cause trouble with loading crossdomain.xml files over https. Same solution work.

If I try some suggestion I got the following.

The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

The server did not understand the request, or the request was invalid. Error processing resource 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtm...

I still have the same problem, but my problem is in following on IE 6/7 my flash slide gallery based on XML it’s loaded but not shown…white screen..but if I resize browser window it’s there. Does anyone have any idea about this.

Thanks for the tip. I´ve had the same problem using google app engine and the xml file load. The solution was setting this:

    self.response.headers["Content-Type"] = r'text/xml'
    self.response.headers["Cache-Control"] = r'cache, must-revalidate;'
    self.response.headers["Pragma"] = r'public;'

Thanks

Thank you soooo much!!! session UNDERSCORE cache UNDERSCORE limiter (privatenoexpire) did the trick for me!!!!

I tried to call a php-service over https. firefox works fine, but ie7 gives me this f*cking error 2032!

http://www.php.net/sessioncachelimiter was the solution for me!

You can try using Other Alternate Browsers, if problem is really with your Internet Browser or the system.

I’ve been working on a project in which we were generating a flash based menu. It was all working fine until we implemented Verisign SSL on the site. When we access the site via HTTPS it runs into some issues. After a round of ‘googling’, I figured out that there was an issue with IE and SSL that was causing this issue. I found a workaround that I’d like to share
