We've set up a test page running over https, and it appears to run fine in all browsers. (Note, we're using a self-signed certificate on this server, so you'll have to add it as a security exception).

I did some more digging and I *think* I found the solution, but still do not know the precise error.

If you check my example again, you'll see that it works now in IE over SSL.

My stream.php script was using psstream_flv and psstream_mp4 php modules to stream the files. Even our MP3s were converted to FLVs on the fly, then piped out as flvs (so that we can have skip/stream features).

I ditched psstream_flv output in favor of xmoov-php output, with a few additional headers, and all worked as expected.

Now what I don't know at this moment is if the issue was always the headers (IE is real picky about its headers) or if the psstream php module functionality was somehow causing IE to dislike the file content over SSL.

My best guess, a headers issue.
