I sent an e-mail about this last week, but I wanted to run some new information by everyone.
What I am trying to do is launch a web browser (internet explorer) with the url location of a document stored in webdav and secured with digest authenitcation. To get the URL I am browsing out to the document via the http://localhost:8080/webdavserver/collection/report.pdf, if I get to the document by clicking each of the links, I have no problem viewing the document. However, if I copy the report.pdf url and paste it into a new browser, I get an authentication window, enter my credentials and then I get an open/save option box, when I select either option, it says that "Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later" Now the weird thing is if I make a simple html page referencing this document, and click on it I can view the document just fine. PLEASE HELP.
I e-mailed out this question a few weeks ago, and got back the suggestion that I simply download the document to my client and open it that way. I have a problem doing this because the application I am creating is an applet being served out over the web, and I don't want to risk leaving sensitive documents on a client computer once they log out or close their browser. Any suggetions would be greatly apprecitated!
I have tested this on a 2k box with ie 5, and an xp box with ie 6, both yield the same results...
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!! Jeff
