highstock - Highcharts CDN issue with IE8 -
the highchart galleries at
http://www.highcharts.com/demo/
don't render me on ie8. works fine on firefox/chrome ie8 (of course) complains "invalid character, line 1 char 1, http://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js".
could due file compression format used on code.highcharts.com cdn? else have issue? on corporate network, maybe kind of proxy server issue?
update:
browser version: ie 8.0.7601.17514
according whatsmyip.org/http-compression-test/ version of ie8 (or more corporate proxy) not requesting compressed content.
according web-sniffer.net, highcharts cdn delivers gzip'd content when request header not indicate gzip support - think may problem.
sebastian:
can highcharts/highstock cdn updated support delivery of uncompressed content when requested?
it seems many proxy servers admins don't allow compressed javascript modules:

so nice if highcharts cdn didn't force compression. until changes best can suggest try load highcharts cdn, fallback own server if fails. perhaps this;
<script src="//code.highcharts.com/stock/1.2/highstock.js"></script> <script>!window.highcharts && document.write(unescape('%3cscript src="../js/highstock/highstock.js"%3e%3c/script%3e'))</script> <script src="//code.highcharts.com/stock/1.2/modules/exporting.js"></script> <script>!window.highcharts.post && document.write(unescape('%3cscript src="../js/highstock/modules/exporting.js"%3e%3c/script%3e'))</script>
