Due to Cache-Control headers, IE7 and IE8 refuse to open graph calls under SSL, causing calls to me/likes to fail. This seems to be due to SSL caching issues in IE ( see technote: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316431). The workaround for us was to fall back to the facebook connect api. Please note that the graph calls are being made in a different way via connect, but they are on the same server, so comparing the headers, etc for a call to: https://graph.facebook.com/me/likes/56120464632?access_token=275086102519766|2.AQAtm4HDizkpA4T-.3600.1317830400.1-100002940465967|NZ4K5XLlrkawLrVxy6-Xw8JOAY
versus a call to:
https://graph.facebook.com//me/
should illuminate the issue.
