Virtual Earth Silverlight CTP and Internet Explorer 6


hi all,

i'm toying using virtual earth silverlight map control ctp build gis-based web application.  wanted make use of silverlight's cross-browser support, 1 of our clients sticking resolutely internet explorer 6.

the trouble i'm having whenever load app ie6, see no virtual earth maps @ - message: "unable contact server.  please try again later".  map zooming functions appear operate correctly, can add own polygons map, , 'zoom in' them (the scale line @ bottom-right changes too).  it's don't see maps, in either road or aerial view.

when use interactive sdk page (https://sharepoint.connect.microsoft.com/silverlightmapcontrolctp/isdk/default.htm ) not see map images.

it's fine in other browsers, not ie6...  can shed light on might wrong?

thanks

 

after dissembling microsoft.virtualearth.mapcontrol.dll using redgate's net reflector (very cool tool http://www.red-gate.com/products/reflector/), appears issue related problem within ie6 , usage of http1.1 compression. control's class load attempts perform asynchronous call imagery svc while loading configuration xml resource. if load state successful it completes load of internal resource xml file , no exception raised. if load fails control raises exception ("unable contact server...").

we have been successful in resolving disabling use http1.1 option , usehttp1.1 through proxy connection within ie6's advance option. restart ie changes take effect.

when re-enable use http1.1 options, issue returns machines had problem.

under ie7,  not seem issue. have examples of machines use ie7 , use http1.1 enabled work fine.
