Just an FYI there are content filters that react to redirects as well. In this often cruel and unforgiving world it seems the use of redirects and proxies can wreak havoc with the things we use to protect ourselves. I am not sure what the solution is, but I can think of who to blame. ;-)

I have some content which I want protected against most visitors to my

htaccess would seem the logical route, but I also want to provide a
zero-login option for those people I want to grant access.

For the non-Microsoft world I could provide a URL with the htaccess
login and password embedded:

  http://user:[email protected]/content/

But IE7 doesn't allow URLs with embedded passwords. :(

I've tried a CGI that does its own authentication and then redirects,
but even redirecting to a URL like the one above with an embedded
password is not allowed with IE.

How can I protect that directory and also provide access to the folder
for those I give a login and password to, without requiring them to
manually log in each time?
