    Page won't display in IE7, but works in Firefox and Chrome

    I am working on a website and just started checking cross browser compatibility. Most pages on the site work just fine across all browsers, but one page (so far) absolutely will not display in IE7. It gives the "can not display webpage" error and suggests that I have a connection problem, but it's clearly NOT a connection problem because I can see the page in other browsers. It would be nice if IE would just spit out a more specific error, but that would be too easy.

    By the way, I have tried turning off my add-ons, resetting the browser, etc.. Nothing works.

    Has anybody seen this before?

    I found the problem. My app was sending out a 302 instead of 200 status. Only IE complained about it, even if in a very ambiguous way. The other browsers still showed the content despite the 302 status.

    I generally like to take every opportunity I can to complain about IE, but in this case, they actually helped me find an obscure bug in my app!
