This is a follow-up on issue #19510, as that has such a long history and is
potentially misleading, and has been already closed anyway. I try to pinpoint
the current problem more specifically in this issue.

I can verify that opening an .odt document from at least one https: website I
happen to know (the innerweb.novell.com site) through IE still doesn't work with
the Windows en-GB 2.0.2 build available from www.openoffice.org.

What happens is that soffice.exe (and soffice.bin) are started, but just a grey
page shows up in IE, and IE in fact hangs until one kills soffice.exe (and
soffice.bin)

IE first asks "this page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want
to display the nonsecure items?" (I don't know why it asks this, what the
nonsecure items would be. As far as I can see the .odt document is directly
linked to as such from the HTML page from the https: website, so the .odt
document should be "secure", too, shouldn't it?)

If I click "yes", the IE page goes blank, and IE asks "Do you want to allow
software such as ActiveX controls and plug-ins to run?", and if I click "yes",
the page goes grey and IE hangs, while soffice.exe and soffice.bin start.
soffice.bin is the child of soffice.exe, but for some reason soffice.exe's
parent isn't iexplore.exe, but winlogon.exe.

No error messages are displayed at all (not the "An API call exited abnormally"
mentioned in issue #19510,
nor the "Object not accessible" one that I have seen in an own OOo build where I
have only partially disabled the ActiveX embedding of OOo).

Can it be possible that the above problem is not repeatable with all https:
websites, but require some specific behaviour that innerweb.novell.com happens
to have?

I have a patch for OOo that adds a switch --disable-activex to OOo's configure
script, which then makes all (hopefully) attempts to have OOo be an ActiveX
control go away. It would be nice to have that upstreamed, as that is what we
are using in our build. I'll put that in a CWS later today.

When IE hangs and just
a grey page shows, although soffice.bin is running, no OOo user interface shows
up at all (presumably it is supposed to show up embedded inside the IE page).
