Ie8 / Apache Error Log

[chickenland]

This might be more of an Apache question than a PHP question, but thought it worth asking incase anyone else has come across this.

Having a weird problem on one of our servers at work (although it could affect all of them).

Apache error_logs are showing quite a lot of "file does not exist" errors for pages using rewrites. For example, you could visit "http://www.mydomain.co.uk/product/103697.html" and the error log would show "http://www.mydomain.co.uk/product" with the file does not exist error. This is fine (I thought) as the referrer is the page, it must be that there is a broken link. No such luck. This ONLY happens in IE8 and seems to be completely related to that one browser.

To be honest, it's got me stumped - although I do seem to remember something about the new rendering engine in IE8 parsing the page several times to pull in content I don't see how a browser rather than an specific action could be causing an Apache error.

Anyone heard of this?

Cheers!
