IE9: store.find is failing - ember.js

Question

I can't seem to fetch new data in Internet Explorer 9. For the purpose of an example I test the store this way:
App.__container__.lookup('store:main').find('style')
The only error I receive is the following:
SCRIPT5022: Error: Assertion Failed: [object Object]
Does Ember-data works out of the box (without polyfills, ...) in Internet Explorer 9?
versions:
Ember: 1.9.1
Ember-data: 1.0.0-beta.12

Answer 1

Problem solved. When doing an AJAX request with jQuery, this normally happens through the XMLHttpRequest object.
On IE8-9, this object is not present, instead it uses XDomainRequest. The simplest fix for this is adding: https://github.com/MoonScript/jQuery-ajaxTransport-XDomainRequest.

Answer 2

ember-data works out of the box with IE8+. According to this issue:
We've been supporting IE8 with our platform (built on Ember) for a
while now. Things I know:
shim/sham is not needed, it's polyfilled by Ember and Ember-Data.
You will need it if you want additional things like .bind() on a function, then you must prepend it to the vendor file (using Brocfile)
and we only include the shim for that purpose, not the sham

Solution :
The issue is solved. When using an AJAX request with jQuery. Normally this is done through the XMLHttpRequest object. A simple fix would be using the Open-Source jQuery-ajaxTransport-XDomainRequest
Code : Adding :
