This is my first day working with Ajax, but I noticed the same problem, even via my own server using the loopback address.

Quite ironically I hadn’t been sending the (“Connection”, “close”) header and, now that I am my code is finally working in IE5.55 & IE6! It seems the opposite of your solution solved the same problem for me… Hahahahaha! Go figure…

I also noticed an improvement in these two browsers by setting using:
xmlHttp.send(null);

Now everything is working perfectly. I have tested in Google Chrome & Chromium, Firefox, and Opera additionally. Thank-you for providing me with the hint!
