Protocol is irrelevant in the case I mentioned as the xss checker I had this experience with checked the url, not the content itself. the environment I worked with was very different (iPlanet, WebSphere, SSO via netegrity, load balanced mid-tier servers, solaris, etc.). The important point to note is anything that sits between the client and whatever services the request can interrupt the request: - web server - web server plugins (security plugins, etc.) - servlet container plugins (isapi plugin, etc.) - servlet container
Chances are something in the stack is failing and/or blocking the request. Somewhere in the logs for each piece in the stack should provide the source of the problem. There is some limited debugging you can do from the client side for these types of things. Firebug for Firefox and Fiddler for IE come to mind. These can at least point you in a direction to chase.
