multipage-frontend's Issues

Travel advice occasionally loading feed in old IE

When visiting travel advice on IE8, IE7 or IE6 (through browser stack), I occasionally see IE choose to render the atom feed rather than the page content.

This happens when:

• loading the page for the first time (screenshot 1)
• when hitting refresh (screenshot 2)

When I hit ENTER again in the address bar the content loads correctly.

I can't reproduce this type of problem in browser stack with any of our other GOV.UK RSS feeds (eg Whitehall publications atom feed)

Not using SECRET_KEY_BASE env var

It seems as though we might be passing a SECRET_KEY_BASE based on the following puppet configuration.

https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-puppet/blob/master/modules/govuk/manifests/apps/multipage_frontend.pp

However it looks as though the secret_key_base is still being set in config/secrets.yml.

I don't have access to the repo that overwrites initialiser files so I can't fully chase it down.
