From 2009 to 2015, I wrote 237 posts on my blog “IEInternals”. Unfortunately, while much of the content is still valuable (for historical interest, if nothing else) the blog host has now broken all of the urls and search.
As I cite IEInternals posts, I’ll add their Internet Archive links to a list here.
- URL Length Limits – INTERNET_MAX_URL_LENGTH is 2083 characters, but that’s not used everywhere
- IE/WinINET Cookie FAQ (alt) – Observations of non-standard cookie behavior in IE
- Beware Cookie-Sharing in Cross-Zone Scenarios – IE Zones make cookies more complicated
- P3P FAQ – P3P restrictions on cookies caused many tricky issues.
- Socially Engineered XSS Attacks – Copy/paste of JavaScript is not safe.
- The Intranet Zone, Local Intranet Zone and Proxies – How a proxy server can impact zone determination
- Domain Names and Private Suffixes in IE

Alternatively, you can browse a snapshot of the full index of IEInternals posts; there are also some posts of interest on my MSDN Fiddler blog and in the IE Blog archive (alt).
