title: IE https CORS XHR request fails with Script7002: XMLHttpRequest: Network Error 0x2eff
body: <p>In all other non-IE browsers, the following code snippet works great:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
  &lt;html&gt;
  &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
  var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
  var url = "https://otherdomain.com";
  var method = "GET";
  xhr.open(method, url, true);
  
  xhr.onload = function() {
   var responseText = xhr.responseText;
   document.write(responseText);
  };
  
  xhr.send()
  
  &lt;/script&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In two different IE11 browsers (running on different OS versions), I get two different errors:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>IE11 Win7: Script7002: XMLHttpRequest: Network Error 0x80070005, Access is denied.</li>
  <li>IE11 Win8: Script7002: XMLHttpRequest: Network Error 0x2eff Could not complete the operation due to error 00002eff</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Google searches for the above error codes don't turn up anything useful. I've tried setting Content-Type, adding dummy functions for onprogress and onload, to no avail.</p>
