Go to live.com and paste in this URL:
http://foxdenlane.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=4

It throws a nasty xml parsing error. Now if you paste in that URL and remove just the "." in the index.php it works.


Now change the .php to .aspx.

Does microsoft not like php or what?

This is actually an error I have been getting for months.  They really just did not code for a .php extension.

Sounds right. Someone just forgot to add the correct code.

Seems that LIVE isn't doing what it was supposed to do.

Bad code and bad results in search market isn't going to help them to beat giant Google.

One quick follow up;  I really think this was an intentional bug on ole Microsoft’s part.  If you change the url above to a default.php page it works, but it does not work for index.php.  If you are running IIS the Microsoft default for a page is default.htm default.html etc.  Now it is possible to run php on a windows box and Microsoft accounted for that by coding for the default.php.  

The difference is that for Apache the root file on a directory is going to be index.htm or index.html etc.  I think this bug was just a little snub by a MS developer.
