Using Windows 7 and IE9 from a live code link ends up broken. If I go to code.webplatform.org directly (or dabblet.com) with IE9 under Windows 7, it works fine. However, where it breaks down is when I try to link to a live link from a webplatform topic, like arcTo()[1] or beginPath()[2]. When you link through in IE9, it starts to show, and then quits to an “Internet Explorer cannot display this webpage” error page. I ran F12 tools network profiler. I found that a number of connections are made to various places, but the first one, listed as “result.code.webplatform.org/gist/5034180” (for arcTo) shows “aborted” after a short time. If the page is cached, it comes back quickly, if not, it does other tasks, like actually running the example, but then kicks back to the can’t display page. I’m running on Windows 7 MSDN release version, with IE9 with latest patches. I’ve got flash and Silverlight enabled, nothing else. Any modules other than “result.code.webplatform.org/gist/5034180” has a 304 http return code. I tried it on another machine, and had similar results.
