Permission problem with XP Service Pack 2 and REDIRECTMATCH clause

           Summary: Permission problem with XP Service Pack 2 and
                    REDIRECTMATCH clause
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.50
          Platform: All
               URL: http://www.ba-ca.com/
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: dade_murphy@gmx.at


Let's see if I can get this straightened out:

Situation:
The server (Apache 2.0.50) is running on a solaris box. It has a virtual host 
configured that uses RedirectMatch (see conf-snip below). 

----- snip of httpd.conf ----
<VirtualHost online0.ba-ca.com:80>
ServerName online1lb1.ba-ca.com
RedirectMatch ^/(.*) https://online1.ba-ca.com/$1
---- end snip ----

There is one HTML file on that server that includes javascript. (Something 
like document.form.field.focus())

A client running Windows XP Service Pack 2 is requesting this HTML file using 
the online0.ba-ca.com URL, getting a respone from online1.ba-ca.com. If the 
object is cached on the local machine the mismatch of request and response URL 
leads IE to throw a javascript error "Permission denied" because of the way 
the redirect is done. (Microsoft calls this the Cached Object Security system)
