Re: IE and apache: strange problem

This is one of *many* insane cases where IE won't show content or successfully hand it off to the assigned application if/when it decides that it shouldn't cache said content.

Clearly this is a horrible design bug, but Microsoft always just says to change the caching settings or to change your server code.  In many cases there is no cache setting change you can make on the client so in many cases the solution is the latter.

This and other bugs in MSIE in dealing with compressed data have gotten so bad that we compress almost nothing for MSIE -- whereas we almost everything for other browsers.

Content-Length.

Can you try explicity setting that in your xml output?
