/alfresco/service/api/node fails from Internet Explorer

[chatch]

Content returned via the get content by node service fails when called from Internet Explorer but is fine from Firefox.

Eg. the following in our system failed /alfresco/service/api/node/content/workspace/SpacesStore/413ab51a-36b1-11dc-8f1f-e99e15fc0438

however using the link /alfresco/d/d/workspace/SpacesStore/3ee469a4-36b1-11dc-8f1f-e99e15fc0438/p1_en.rtf was fine.

Has anyone seen this?

Fails in what way?

Have you tried adding /p1_en.rtf to the first URL?

On further inspection we are only getting this problem with binary (eg. RTF) documents at the moment (html and xml work fine).

Message in MSIE is "Internet explorer was not able to open this site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later."

Initially we thought it might have been our SSL proxy causing the problem but that problem occurs with a direct connection to the Tomcat box on 8080.

Adding /p1_en.rtf gives the same problem. Perhaps MSIE doesn't like the way some of response headers are set?

Here are the headers for the link that works.. I think MSIE is having problems with those no-cache headers on binary files.
