This implies that you are not making either a GET or a POST request.

Irrelevant.  The *URI* scheme, host name, and server-side port number of the 
resource to be accessed matter.

Server-side URL rewrite is AFAIK not visible to the client.  If the URI 
basically works, the former cannot be the reason for XHR failure.  However, 
that you are using a different URI then may be, because of client-side 
caching.

I do not think, especially now that you have discovered that the behavior is 
not limited to IE 10, that it matters whether you provide a URI or a URI-
reference (there is no “full URL”, see RFC 3986).

You need to provide the *full* context.  A public testcase would be best, 
but a more detailed description and screenshots might suffice.
