HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: 2.0b is out - bugfix

« on: September 25, 2006, 06:42:21 AM »

It seems that it works much better, but I too still have the problem on occasion just like SA does.  The other thing I noticed is that for some reason the login realm and the custom icon "favicon.ico" don't work anymore.  Kinda weird...

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / IE Problem?

« on: August 15, 2006, 04:11:12 AM »

That is very interesting and thanks for sharing the article.  The only problem is that with any other web server I have used IE works / worked fine with a username and password.  Oh well, I guess there is not much more that can be done..  :?

HFS ~ HTTP File Server / IE Problem?

« on: August 14, 2006, 08:13:47 PM »

I have been using WWW File Share Pro but I was not very happy with the features.  I came across this software but I am having a strange issue and I don't know why.  I am using version 2.0a.

I have HFS installed on a Windows 2003 server machine that I use as a web and file server.  I added a few real folders to HFS.  My testing has brought up a strange issue.  

I have the home or root locked so a username and password is required.  After logging in I can access the folders.  When I open a folder it works great, but if I then open another folder within the second folder I get a "The page cannot be displayed" error or a weird 301 error.  

For example root is /
I can open the live folder with no problem.  /live/

but when I open 1993 which is in the live folder   /live/1993

I either get a page error or an error like the one below

301 - Moved permanently to /Live/1993/


Now the strange thing is that I have tried it in IE, Opera, Netscape and Firefox and none of them have the problem except IE.  Which ironically will most likey be used to most to connect to the server.  

I did observe one thing though.  If I open the 1993 folder with Opera it gives me a security warning:

Security warning:

You are about to go to an address containing a username.

    Username: Master
    Server: 24.XXX.XX.XXX

Are you sure you want to go to this address?


So I found that to be weird, because it seems that it is asking for authentication again even though I already put in the name and password.  

I also found that if I remove the name and password protection it works in IE without a problem.  If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.  I have done a little bit of searching on the forums but didn't find anything related to this problem.  Thanks in advance for any help anyone could give me.
