Perhaps, this has already been covered in a FAQ somewhere,
if so, could someone please direct me to it.
I want to use the built-in authentciation scheme in the NCSA
server - primarily for traffic control and somewhat for user
access habits (yes I know its not that secure).
The Netscape Navigator seems to handle this feature ok. I'm
not sure if the latest Mosaic does (I'm looking into it now).
My concern is that v3.0 of MS-Internet Explorer cannot handle
.htaccess protected directories. Is this true or is there
some configuration that lets it work. All I get is an error
concerning the header - not even a 401 error.
I've emailed NCSA and MS, but have not had any feedback as
yet.
Thanks in advance for your help. You are welcome to contact
me directly help on this topic at:
