Ask HN: How do you deal with Internet Explorer?

1 pointhbbio3 comments

We're building a web application and are finding out all browsers behave normally, but IE. Internet Explorer refuses to open our pages.

Using Fiddler, we see we receive a perfectly valid HTTP request, and answer a proper HTTP response with a valid HTML page.

Nonetheless, IE (11) keeps answering "This page can't be displayed".

How did you deal with this? Do you still test and support IE?

Is it perhaps this issue? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11544048/how-do-i-suppre... Else, I'd suspect caching issues (check the "caching" tab in Fiddler, see if anything unexpected is there).

Thanks, but I think we're hitting another problem.

Our response headers are:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Cache-Control: no-cache

Pragma: no-cache
