jQuery AJAX request in IE9 not sending Cookie header

Question

I'm using jQuery's ajax .get method to retrieve data from my server. Works perfect in Chrome, but in IE9 it is not sending the Cookie header and that breaks the app. Any idea why? Here's the jQuery code:

$.get(this.server + 'rest/photo/' + this.profileId + '/count', function(data) {
    $('#imageCount').html(data);
});

I have the same problem here, I can't get the jQuery .ajax() function to work. The only workaround I found is this:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" /> 

You can add this meta tag to the top of the page to get it working. But it doesn't feel like a good solution. I think the problem is that the xmlhttprequest object in IE9 is different, so jQuery cannot find the respective object, therefore ajax is not triggering.
