I guess if that's going to be published I'll give more of an explanation.

SSL requests can appear to hang when checking for certificate revocations if
the corresponding CA is overly busy or otherwise unreachable.  The timeout
on this seems to either not exist or be quite long.  Typical symptoms that I
see are "broken images" while IE is still cranking and reaalllyy long page
loads.

The Do not save encrypted pages to disk "feature" messes mainly with file
downloads.  This is saying "don't cache ssl requests".  This is problematic
with files that require third party apps to view as the file does not get
passed to the other application correctly.  IE apparently sends the external
app the name of a temp file and if you aren't saving these files to disk
there's nothing for the app to open, throwing an error back to IE.  Typical
error is "Internet Explorer cannot download <insertURLhere>.  Internet
Explorer was not able to open this Internet site.  The requested site is
either unavailable or cannot be found.  Please try again later."

Yet more features that are good ideas on paper but didn't translate well
into bits.

Bozo cookie.  Sound's good.  Does the button say "Best Damn Firewall Guy
Period"? :)

Also check these IE settings in Tools | Internet Options | Advanced Tab,
Security section at the bottom:

- Check for publisher's certificate revocation
- Check for server certificate revocation
- Do not save encrypted pages to disk

I have seen all 3 of these appear to hang an SSL request when checked.
The
third option above is especially for downloads of files not natively
handled
by IE.

From internet browser;
Go to tools, > Options > Connections (TAB) > Lan Settings 
At this point make sure that bypass proxy for local servers is selected.
Select Advanced and under exceptions enter the IP Address of your
internal sites
If you know the FQN then enter those such as MYSITE, MYDOMAIN; etc.

        Like I said it could be many issues.
        Try setting the internal proxy to not use proxy for internal
settings.

        This could be a number of reasons
        
        1.  Check to make sure activex controls are allowed to run.
        2.  Check to make sure scripting is turned on.
        3.  Check to make sure All parts of the web page are coming from
an
        https://  images, pages etc.
            Sometimes mixed content will not be available
        
        Etc, etc,
