Further to my below email I have put in some code to check the HTTP headers in each case (IE and FireFox).
These are: IE accept: */* accept-language: en-gb accept-encoding: gzip, deflate user-agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; InfoPath.1) host: localhost connection: Keep-Alive cookie: JSESSIONID=D79835F3D70ADD58F4770DD15B463320 FireFox host: localhost user-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050919 Firefox/1.0.7 accept: text/xml,application/xml,application/xhtml+xml,text/html;q=0.9,text/plain;q= 0.8,image/png,*/*;q=0.5 accept-language: en-gb,en;q=0.5 accept-encoding: gzip,deflate accept-charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 keep-alive: 300 connection: keep-alive cookie: JSESSIONID=A3893195B065989E5B03BC8681E4D0D6 cache-control: max-age=0 I wonder whether the keep-alive which exists in the case of FireFox but not in the case of IE could be the cause of my problems.
