I have a WordPress blog. When I search the posts from my site in Google, the results appear and on clicking the result I can open that particular post on my site.
But while doing the same on Internet Explorer, I get a 406 error, but on refreshing the page, the site opens. Its kind of weird. Can anybody help me out?

Solution :

It looks like a possible cause can be you have two conflicting MIME types. Here is a solution provided by Microsoft: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/942050

Additionally, if you would like to do some further testing, give the htaccess tester tool a try. It allows you to specify a certain URL as well as the rules you would like to include and then shows which rules were tested, which ones met the criteria, and which ones were executed.
