IE Problem: XPath document() function and HTTPS

From: Steve@-----------.---------.---

Hi,

I'm using browser-based XSL transformations, obtaining XML files that 
specify the corresponding XSL stylesheet to use, all via HTTPS from a Java 
App Server (Tomcat 5.5.20 to be precise).  One of the XSL stylesheets uses 
the XPath document() function to return an XML document.  The href attribute 
associated with the document() function references a servlet on the Java App 
Server that dynamically creates the required XML and returns it.  This works 
fine when the servlet is accessed via HTTP, but fails in IE (6 and 7) when 
the servlet is accessed via HTTPS.  Firefox has no such problems.

I look at the server logs, and the HTTP(S) request initiated by document() 
is being received by the server and XML content returned.  However, IE 
displays the following web page:

The XML page cannot be displayed
 
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and 
then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The download of the specified resource has failed.

Is there some configuration setting in IE that is preventing this from 
working?  Is there something I need to do to get this going or is this a 
known bug?

Many thanks,
-Steve
