This is a very weird one...
When connecting to a url of the form
http://my.website.com/index.php?id=9, I’m getting very different results when connecting from Windows browsers vs Mac browsers. When connecting from Mac, pages display as expected, but from Windows the server responds with a 404 error.
Additionally, Apache server logs report different behavior as follows:
Mac/Firefox-3.5.3:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - - [21/Oct/2009:13:54:46 -0700] "GET /index.php?id=9 HTTP/1.1" 200 471 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3"

(notice the out of order timestamps on the requests...never seen that before)

This feels like a configuration issue of some kind, which may not be related to MODx - but since I’m working on a server that I’ve done lots of other work on and have never seen anything quite like this, I’m hoping someone in the MODx sphere can shed some light. Also, since the requests from Windows appear to be redirected, and I’m not doing anything fancy (or at all) in httpd.conf/mod_rewrite/htaccess that would trigger a redirect, the problem would seem to point to something being amiss or mis-configured in MODx...or maybe good ol’ Windoze is rearing its ugly head at me again...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
