Flash XML load bug in IE
Some cases, you may want to generate XML files on the fly. One of my project required dynamic XML files so the flash player can manipulate the XML. Fire Fox loads external XML files without a problem but IE has a issue.
I used PHP session to customize the XML files. Here is the HTTP headers with and without the session cookie.
| Static XML | Session enabled XML |
| ‘HTTP/1.0 200 OKDate: Sun, 28 Jan 2007 21:16:20 GMTServer: Apache/2.0.51 (Fedora)

I have spent many hours to solve this stupid bug. Luckily, I found this post. In short, I had to send this header:
header(’Cache-Control: cache, must-revalidate’);
header(’Pragma: public’);
I feel sorry for my Flash developer for accusing this bug. My bad.
