---code:blarque--- We're using the CERN httpd and requiring Basic Authentication to certain directories. It works ok until access is attempted to an html document that has a couple of frames in it. If the document is requested by entering ht URL in the browser manually it comes up ok (authentication had been performed previously) but if a script generates html with a META tag refreshing to that URL, the first frame is accessed ok but the others bring up the authentication prompt from the browser again. (they shouldn't) The frame sources are all in the same directory. It only happens in IE3.0 and not Netscape. Anyone seen this? scotts@concord.com
