The new flow of the login using oAuth is broken under Internet Explorer 8.

Once you move to the login page then to the "Redirecting you to the
application" you end up with "Woah there!" error page.

Works on safari, firefox, internet explorer 8 in compatibility mode but not
native internet explorer 8.

Broken the whole Internet explorer 8 users ability to login.

just a heads up. if you choose compatibility mode you can use internet explorer 8
which is basically internet explorer 7.

I would like to mention that this is not working in IE 7 as well. My application is 
breaking similarly for IE7 and not in firefox

Deploy of the redirect fix, as well as the http/https issue just went out. Can you give it a try and let me know 
what you're seeing?

I just successfully tested in IE 8. Thank you! It appears you have corrected both the
oauth and ssl issues.

Per previous comment and internal testing this has been fixed.
