IE doesn’t pass query parameters properly on file redirectsHot on the heels of my last flash development issue craziness comes this doozy: In Internet Explorer, if you redirect a request to a swf to another file, and add new request parameters in the redirect, IE will not pass the new parameters to the final object…it will only pass the original query params.
For example: You want myserver.com/somepath?var=1 to redirect to myserver.com/mySwfFile.swf?differentVar=2, the swf will be loaded into the page receiving the parameters of var=1… and not differentVar=2.
Quite painful if you want to redirect older existing content to newer content. Of course, this works seamlessly in Firefox and Safari.
