mod_write works for Firfox, not for MSIE

I know MSIE is evil, but I still would like to support 80% potential viewers.

Here is my gallery: http://www.kunxi.org/gallery/

This mod_rewrite works perfect for Firefox, but MSIE returns a 404 error, the user has to explicitly use:
http://www.kunxi.org/gallery/index.php

Use zenphoto 1.0.3, enable the .htaccess in $gallery, the zenphoto scheme is tailored to fit into my wordpress theme.

Any comments?

    Hello,

    It works on IE here, not your site, but on mine with the .htaccess installed.

    Your site is exceptionally slow on both FF and IE.

    Check your htacess file. Did you write:

    RewriteBase /gallery

    That's all I can think of. Maybe your host can help.

    Sorry.

    That is very interesting. I do not think it is a mod-rewrite problem though, however I may be wrong..

    Try these couple of things and this will give us more information to go off of.

    turn off mod-rewrite in the zp-config.php and see if it still happens.

    Use the default zenphoto theme with and withough mod-rewrite and see if it happens.

    After viewing your source I see you are calling many different js files and maybe one is conflictig wth msie?

    Those are just my guesses off the top of my head

    I am gonna kinda take that back..
    Did you make any modifications the .htaccess file delivered with zenphoto. ?
    if you go to your sites gallery and add the index.php, everything shows up. If you just go to /gallery then you get nothing. But it looks to me like a rewrite rule is bad. try reuploading the default .htaccess from zenphoto, change the rewrite base and see if that works

    Hello,

    Thanks for all the response.

    1) it is slow since the migration of wordpress. I would optimize it after all functions are complete.

    2) I did not modify the .htaccess, just put the original one to $http_root/gallery

    3) in fact, the Firefox also accepts a 404 header, here is the output from Firefox LiveHttpHeaders:

    That explains the why, but it arouse another question, why here is a 404 header?
