I have a webpage that is served as XML/XSL file pair. With IE8 - Version 8.0.7601.17514. the rendering fails on Windows 2008 R2 SP1.
The exact error message is as below:
=================================================================================
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The stylesheet does not contain a document element. The stylesheet may be empty, or it may not be a well-formed XML documen...
=================================================================================
After clicking on Refresh button, the page gets display correctly on browser.
I narrow down this problem to IE8 specific. IE 8 throws an error when downloading a xslt file over https for first time when we click on xml file. After refreshing same page, the web page displays correctly.
Thanks.
