HTTPService - different behavior on mac and windows...

Question

My AIR application talks to a backend that does not have a server based proxy service. Doing a plain vanailla https POST...and finding out that my code works great on a mac but fails to get a response back to the result handler on a windows box...
private function setupHTTPService():void {
            httpserv = new HTTPService();
            httpserv.url = "https://a.b.c.d:8081/sqlquery";     // IP addr goes here..
            httpserv.method = "POST";
            httpserv.resultFormat = "text";
            httpserv.contentType = "text/plain";
In another method ---
    httpserv.request = qm.messageString();
                  httpserv.addEventListener("result", plistener = function (e:ResultEvent): void { gotdata( e,qm,gotconfig ) } );
                  httpserv.addEventListener("fault", flistener = function (e: Event): void { gotfailed( e,qm, gotconfig ) } );
                  httpserv.send();
Handlers ---
        public function gotdata(e:ResultEvent, qm:QueryMsg, passthru:Function):void {
            httpserv.removeEventListener("result",plistener);
            httpserv.removeEventListener("fault",flistener);
            handleData(e.result as String,qm)// handle receiving categories
        public function gotfailed(e:Event,qm:QueryMsg,passthru:Function):void {
            httpserv.removeEventListener("result",plistener);
            httpserv.removeEventListener("fault",flistener);
Setup the breakpoints on gotdata and gotfailed - don't even get a failure back when running the AIR app from a windows client. Tried with 3.3 and 3.4 SDK. Any thoughts?

Weird. We are having this same problem as well. Ours happens in Chrome as well. What I have figured out is -at least for us - is its somethign to do with the Google Analytics tracking cookie on our site. If I go to cookies and then delete the _umtz cookie, the site will load fine. In the time being I have set "pageTracker._setCampaignTrack(false); " in our tracking code to keep the script from dropping the cookie in users browsers.
