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

Perhaps the question could be asked another way and be more on topic.

Is there a fix in I.E. 6.01 that would interfere with PHP being able to
generate different mime types on the fly, like .png or .jpg????

Thanks,

Warren Vail

[snip]
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.
