Download of MS Office docs from protected areas fail with IE





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2002-02-27 19:42 -------
TC 4.0.1 allowed protected resources to be cached, which is a security problem
(any proxy between the client and the server would cache the resource, and could
serve the resource to another client). TC 4.0.2 doesn't allow protected
resources to be cached.

As for the "it seems like the authenticated context is lost second time we get
the file!!!": if you correctly resubmit the authentication credentials, it will
work. Besides, I don't see anything bad in the logs, except some MS FP junk (GET
/_vti_inf.html HTTP/1.1).

If you have a problem, the workaround is easy: download the file to your HD, and
open it from there, instead of relying on the HTTP redirector IE provides
through its fancy OLE 2 embedding.

Lastly, "So, it might be an IE error but I can't imagine that MS will correct it
in the next time..." is NEVER A GOOD ARGUMENT, esp if it deals with security. If
you're not happy with that policy, you should use another vendor.
