509034 - Weird HTTPS behaviour in certain circumstances

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 232944

(Firefox :: Security, defect)

Description

[Jez]

For some reason, a web service that I'm publishing via HTTPS is causing Firefox to behave strangely when accessing it via HTTPS.  The service is located here:

https://devapi.intamac.com/Service.svc/

Its help page is located here:

https://devapi.intamac.com/Service.svc/help

I can't figure out exactly what the problem is, but intermittently I get the 'green bar' to the left of the address bar to indicate a trusted HTTPS connection; other times I don't get that, and yet FF doesn't throw up a warning message either; it just connects to the https:// address as if it were a regular HTTP address.  IE seems to connect to this address via HTTPS just fine.  Possibly something to do with the content-type of the response being 'application/xml', but I really don't know.
