It is odd that the requests work in one type of browser but not another. Would you be able to post (or send to me in PM) the url of the site in question? I'd love to take a peek and see why this is happening.

Probably the easiest solution, assuming you are using the Apache web server, is to add the following lines to your .htaccess file:

Code:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomainhere\.com
RewriteRule ^/(.*) http://www.yourdomainhere.com/$1 [R=301,L]

It's almost imposible that it should work in one browser but not another, unless you have some sort of hosts entry and/or are trying to load something from the cache perhaps?

Similar observed under 2 circumstances :
  • Following installation of Yahoo Messenger
  • FF Config file had IPv6 enabled, & ISP's DNS Servers did not support IPv6

Could be it's something to do with the very 1st line in the HTML section. DocType, possibly?

Something is in error with your signature also what is the url of the client? PM if you need, but much easier to test live
