IE HTTPS Ajax request image not showing up

Question

Hi:

In IE (7 or 8) and HTTPS mode, following RESPONSE is delivered for an AJAX request. My issue is the img was NOT requested at all by IE (figured out using Fiddler), broken img is shown instead. It all works perfectly in HTTP mode in IE and other browsers no problem rendering in both mode (please don't tell me not to use IE). Any thoughts/work-arounds/suggestions? Thanks.

<div>
   <h1>Chart Title</h1>
   <h2>Chart sub-title</h2>
   <img src="https://www.google.com/chart?cht=p3&amp;chd=t:106,169,73,14&amp;chds=0,169&amp;chs=300x150&amp;chtt=Ocean+Area&amp;chdl=Atlantic|Pacific|Indian|Arctic&amp;chma=0,0,0,0|70&amp;chco=3366CC|DC3912|FF9900|109618&amp;chp=4.7"&gt;
   <p>message comes here</p>
</div>

It might be worth checking that this isn't being caused by a corrupt DOM: try closing the img tag in the AJAX response and see if that helps.
