Really strange IE 8 Beta 2 behaviour

Question

PLEASE DON'T CLOSE -- IT'S PROGRAMMING-RELATED (BUT NO CODE INCLUDED)

I develop MOSS sites, and I need to make sure my sites are compatible with IE 7,8 and FireFox.

I have an external testing site (Windows 2003, IIS 6) and when I browse to this MOSS site, I can authenticate without any problems using IE8.

When I browse to my local installation of MOSS (Windows 2008 Server, IIS 7), I can't authenticate, instead it prompts for username+password, then 3 tries later a blank page comes up.

Any idea why this is? At the moment I can't test my MOSS installation locally using IE 8, because of this, and Microsoft don't provide support for beta products.

Answer 1

You should try some network sniffing to see exactly what is happening over the wire. WireShark is pretty good.

Answer 2

im having the same problem, any solutions ?

Answer 3

Try using Fiddler to see what status code IIS is returning to you.

Answer 4

Did anyone find out about this one? I'm having the same issue with MOSS & IE7
