Whenever I log in for the first time, IE 6 and 7 both return a 404 not found error when the googleauth/signin authentication button is clicked.

I'm imagining the generated URL is the problem....

here's an example:

https://www.google.com/a/mysite.org/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=tr...

There are elements of that which strike me as oddly formatted....

When I click the button a 2nd time, I access my Google Apps account no problem.

Interestingly, this problem does not occur in Firefox.

The problem is that the < signs in the latter part of the URL are not being converted to &lt...any ideas why this is happening (and only in IE?) and how to fix?

Below is the URL as it gets passed to IE when I attempt to authenticate

https://www.google.com/a/mysite.org/ServiceLogin?service=mail&passive=tr...

IN Firefox and Chrome, the < signs are &lt instead.
