Use MSXMLHTTP ProgID lookup Check for MSXML http ajax objects for IE
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WICKET-4283
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-4283
Project: Wicket
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: wicket
Affects Versions: 1.4.19
Environment: Windows7, WindowsXP, Tomcat all versions, Internet
Explorer 7, 8, 9.
Reporter: Berlin Brown
Priority: Minor
The IE team and MSXML team and also other client side oriented frameworks(see
jQuery) are using a MSXML lookup for the ajax XHR transport object. Wicket
1.4.x versions are using the legacy new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
object. Some browsers may disable the object and may cause issues for ajax
requests.

I guess using a simple lookup for the MSXML object. The standard seems to be:
Msxml2.XMLHTTP but, you may also lookup Msxml2.XMLHTTP.6.0 for IE8 and above.
Using the right XHR object may add security and performance fixes provided by
IE. The legacy Microsoft.XMLHTTP object is not recommended.
