Hi

Who knows why the Authentication-Info HTTP header does not work in
Microsofts IE. It is a long persisting problen, effectively making IE
unsuitable for Digest Authentication.
Is there a workarond in order NOT to have a retransmission from the browser
when authentication-info is refreshed ?
Oh yes, don't give answers like "use another scheme" (I have to use it) or
"use another browser" (I have to use f.... IE) or "check your programming"
(I did and it's ok, really)

I am getting a similar problem where it works for one frame but spits the
dummy for another frame. From what I have found out so far is that
Microsh.... decided to do their own interpretation of the standard which is
different to the rest of the world. Basically it don't work nor does it
probably work for simple authetication either from Microsoft say in their
support section. Use Firefox it works fine. So what do we tell customers?
It works OK if you go back many security patches though.
