IE (all versions from IE6 to IE8 IIRC, not 100% sure about IE6), send
the Accept: */* HTTP header, meaning basically that it will accept any
format for the representation of the resource (even if it's a WEB
browser, supposed to get mostly HTML pages). This sometimes triggers
'funny' or unexpected behaviour with content negotiation techniques
(after all, Accept: */* - Anything - doesn't mean much in the content
negotiation context).
Did you try to put the @Get("html") method before the @Get one? This
sometimes help... otherwise you can try to do this on your application
(your class extending Restlet's Application class):
getTunnelService().setUserAgentTunnel(true);
This will make Restlet 'more intelligent' to handle IE browsers.
Good luck!
