2007/3/12, Yannick Warnier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
The problem wasn't quite there. The 304 response was correct and didn't
really cause a problem in IE7.
In fact, the problem was somewhere else. As mentioned by someone in the
PHP doc comments (http://be.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php#64125 ),
IE is the only one to reject urls of the likes of
http://example_demo.littleweb.com/ because of the "_" character.
This means that basically IE will display the site without a problem,
but will not register any cookie, and of course will not mention it, so
it makes it all much easier to detect. The fact that FF and Opera get a
session each does not help at all in finding the problem.
Changing the URL to http://exampledemo.littleweb.com/ will work perfectly.
