title: Ajax over SSL works on Mozilla Firefox, but not on IE
body: <p>As the subject states my hunch it has something to do with IE and <em>certificates</em>, but I need an expert opinion.</p>
  
  <p><em><strong>Background:</em></strong>
  My ajax url looks something like this: [https://&lt;serverIpAndPort&gt;/&lt;contextRoot&gt;/getUserGroups]</p>
  
  <p>This url works fine on Mozilla Firefox. However on IE 8,9 I get a <strong>500 Internal server error</strong> exception. I should mention at this time, there is no problem on IE 8,9 when it is running in a non-ssl fashion. I am pretty convinced its not a javascript browser compatibility issue.</p>
  
  <p>I will really appreciate if I can get some expert opinion here and a way to get around this issue. Our company is very pro IE and this web application has to work with SSL turned on.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Environment:</strong> Apache with Reverse Proxy and SSL on
  Web Logic Application Servers using WL_Plugin and SSL on.</p>
