Hi,
I am currently running a website which has a user loign module which
works as follows. A user hits the site for the first time in a browser
session, an Apache module is called to check if a valid cookie is sent,
and if not, a '403 Forbidden Access' status is send, and the document
redirects to an ErrorDoc which processes this (ie assigns the cookie).
The problem is this: when the line 'HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden' is sent in
the header to IE5, THAT browser thinks its a really neat idea to produce
its own document from somewhere on a local Windows machine, instead of
the one which I have prepared for it. End result, anyone hitting our
site for the first time in a session using IE5 will be confronted with
this message.
Now, aside from nuking Microsoft off the face of this planet, a solution
which I may be partial to given the resources, on a more feasible level,
is there anything I can do to prevent this problem from occurring?
I would be extremely grateful to anyone who can help me with this, since
it is quite a frustrating for us.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
