I am currently hosting a Drupal site (CentOS / Apache 2.2.3 / PHP5 / Drupal 5.6) and a number of IE6 users have reported problems accessing the RSS feed for the site. The site is only available via HTTPS and they are presented with an error message like:

Internet Explorer cannot download rss.xml from foo.org

Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet Site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.

All other browsers that we have tested (IE7, FF) work as expected. Has anyone seen anything like this before? They were able to consume the RSS feed from our previous blog platform in IE6 without problem.

I'm out of ideas, so any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Josh

I do know that IE6 does not support RSS, but it should still be able to find/download the file.

Nope, ie6 just displays html.. So I had to turn off rss - and found there is no way of doing that via the menus! So I had to hack node.module instead...

This should definitely be a menu item..
