[Catalyst] IE has problems with catalyst

[snookums]

After examining this some more, I started to think that IE was timing out
because there was no data being sent to the server while waiting for the
processing to be done. I added a couple $c->engine->write($c, ' ') calls
throughout the code. That didn't help. IE is consistently throwing a dns
error after 10 seconds on each request.

I'd be appreciative of any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
