Ajax works fine in HTTP but not in HTTPS in FireFox

When we are directly access the application from Application server(localhost).I am getting the correct response.

This is URL

http://localhost:27110/vcm-ui/request?vui.request.transport=json&vui.response.transport=json&vui.request=[{%22id%22%3A0.8391487769614959%2C%22action.key%22%3A%22message%22%2C%22event%22%3A%22multiple%22%2C%22content%22%3A{%22com.vignette.ui.framework.module.id%22%3A%22task%22%2C%22com.vignette.ui.framework.module.view.mode%22%3A%22table%22%2C%22baseName%22%3A%22com.vignette.ui.vcm.l10n.module.TaskResource%22%2C%22keys%22%3A%22accept.action.label\taccept.action.description\treject.action.label\treject.action.description\tapprove.action.label\tapprove.action.description\tmenu.tour.label\tmenu.tour.description\tmenu.tour.url%22}}%2C]%20HTTP/1.1

Respons
/*{xapi:{metadata:{"user": "?","status": "ok","request": "http://localhost:27110/vcm-ui/request"},container:{"type": "vui","id": "0.8391487769614959",data:[{"type": "vuiError","message": "Current user is not authorized to perform the requested action.","id": "0.8391487769614959","content": "", "end": "---end-marker---"}]}}}*/

When we are trying to access from Webserver(https proxy) by redirecting to Application.I am getting encrypted response.

The URL for Access Webserver is

https://qa2.rpvgn.com/vcm-ui/request?vui.request.transport=json&vui.response.transport=json&vui.request=[{%22id%22%3A0.8391487769614959%2C%22action.key%22%3A%22message%22%2C%22event%22%3A%22multiple%22%2C%22content%22%3A{%22com.vignette.ui.framework.module.id%22%3A%22task%22%2C%22com.vignette.ui.framework.module.view.mode%22%3A%22table%22%2C%22baseName%22%3A%22com.vignette.ui.vcm.l10n.module.TaskResource%22%2C%22keys%22%3A%22accept.action.label\taccept.action.description\treject.action.label\treject.action.description\tapprove.action.label\tapprove.action.description\tmenu.tour.label\tmenu.tour.description\tmenu.tour.url%22}}%2C]%20HTTP/1.1

The Response I am getting is

Code Used for making a Ajax request is

var xhr;
		if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
			xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
		}else if(window.ActiveXObject){
			xhr = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
		}
		// Open the socket
		// Passing null username, generates a login popup on Opera (#2865)
		alert("The URL is "+s.url);
		if( s.username )
			xhr.open(type, s.url, s.async, s.username, s.password);
		else
			xhr.open(type, s.url, s.async);

// Need an extra try/catch for cross domain requests in Firefox 3
		try {
			// Set the correct header, if data is being sent
			if ( s.data )
				xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", s.contentType);

// Set the If-Modified-Since header, if ifModified mode.
			if ( s.ifModified )
				xhr.setRequestHeader("If-Modified-Since",
					vQuery.lastModified[s.url] || "Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT" );

// Set header so the called script knows that it's an XMLHttpRequest
			xhr.setRequestHeader("X-Requested-With", "XMLHttpRequest");
			xhr.setRequestHeader("Method", "GET "+s.url+" HTTP/1.1");

// Set the Accepts header for the server, depending on the dataType
			xhr.setRequestHeader("Accept", s.dataType && s.accepts[ s.dataType ] ?
				s.accepts[ s.dataType ] + ",application/json, */*" :
				s.accepts._default );
		} catch(e){}

This working fine in IE 6 but not in FireFox and IE 7

Please help in solving it

Moving to our HTML and JavaScript forum.

Did you look at the headers, is it returning the same content type/encoding/etc. Does it work with non https on the same server?

Hi Eric

We have solved the problem.

Solution is
gzip compression done by web server was not supported by IE7 and FF.
So I had removed the compression, and it worked.

But removing compression may affect the performance.
So I am looking for better solution.
