RE: [PHP] CSRF attack not possible in I.E. 6.01 SP1?

I am working on securing an application that uses CDSSO (Cross Domain 
Single Sign On). 

I am trying to reproduce the CSRF (Cross Site Request Forgery) attack 
(using <img/> TAG) in I.E. 6.01,  but am unable to do so. However the 
attack works on Mozilla and other older browsers.

My question: Is I.E. 6.01 SP1 doing something to foil the CSRF attack, 
i.e. only allow image extensions .gif .png .jpeg?????

You would have to ask the Microsoft Development Group, who probably does
not subscribe to this list. Crossposting is bad. Being OT during a
crosspost is even worse. I can hear the falmethrowers warming up in the
wings.

FYI -> This is (or use to be) a PHP list
