I am using IE6 service pack 2 and I am getting a "page not found" when
attempting to access a page using parameters.

You can check out this problem at:

http://supervisor.tourcorp.com/authtest/testsubmit.htm

The name is "test" and the password is "test".

Each of the links goes to the same page. But, the links with parameters bomb
out. The ones without parameters work fine.

Also, in netscape, all the links work fine.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
in netscape, all the links work fine.

Take a trace of the first test being done by both browsers
and compare the requests they both generated.

FYI XP Pro distributes netcap with its Support Tools.
Use that to capture the requests. I use Ethereal for formatting
the resulting .cap files. However, since the http: protocol is mostly
character based you could instead usefully browse the .cap files
(even though it is a binary format) and extract sufficient information
about the requests that way.


The only difference (besides the request itself) that I could see
was in the Authorization: header but that would have to be different
I suspect because of the different request might play a part in the
Authorization: encoding.

I think you would be further ahead asking somebody on the server side
why the request is being rejected so you don't have to analyse the
details of it yourself.


BTW have you tried using https: as the protocol instead?
(e.g. to port 443)


Also, change (in Options, Advanced tab)
Show friendly HTTP error messages
to make sure that is *unchecked*

The actual message your server is rejecting requests with is:

<example>
HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
</example>
