Recently an application I wrote started not working on Internet Explorer. There has been no change to the underlying (ruby on rails) code. In IE 6 or IE 7, I can make one request (HTTP Post) to the app, but when I try to make a 2nd request, I get an "Operation Aborted" message. Everything works fine in firefox. The HTTP Request and Res...
I have successfully connected to an HTTP server with ActionScript 3 over sockets. The only problem is, the server is sending chunked HTTP.

In many cases the client will want to make bulk updates to the col...
