I think I have solved this (with much pain and a m oment of exhileration).
There is a difference in the browsers, but not in the player. IE
requires that the add-no-cache-headers property is set in the AMF
channel definition, Firefox doesn't care:
<add-no-cache-headers>false</add-no-cache-headers>
Here is what mine looke like...
<channel-definition id="dsl-amf"
class="mx.messaging.channels.SecureAMFChannel">
<endpoint
uri="https://{server.name}:8443/{context.root}/messagebroker/amf";
class="flex.messaging.endpoints.SecureAMFEndpoint"/>
<properties>
<polling-enabled>false</polling-enabled>
<add-no-cache-headers>false</add-no-cache-headers>
</properties>
</channel-definition>
Suddenly both IE and FF work just fine over https.
I'm posting in the hope that some other poor soul won't spend 4 days
staring at this issue and might just bump into this post.
