This is a bug in IE6 caused by the cache-control headers being set by
Tomcat 5.X when combined with HTTP auth and SSL and binary content
such as a swf.
The fix is the following which will disable setting the proper but
troublesome cache-control header.
In the flex web app, add a META-INF directory. Inside of that
directory create a document
context.xml
Within this file add the following line.
<Valve
className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.FormAuthenticator"
disableProxyCaching="false" />
If you are using BASIC instead of form just use
<Valve
className="org.apache.catalina.authenticator.BasicAuthenticator"
disableProxyCaching="false" />
Youre problem will go away.
