try on mine:  (will be open for a while for you )
http://rafi@rafi.homeip.net/protected
I have the same on your PC:
1. When I browse directly to http://rafi@rafi.homeip.net/ then I don't see the folder protected listed.
2. When I first browse to http://rafi@rafi.homeip.net/protected/ and after that without closing the browser to http://rafi@rafi.homeip.net/ then I do see the folder protected listed, because the browser remembers the username rafi now.

But it seems like when you surf directly (with a fresh opened browser so no username is remembered) to your root he won't accept the username.


your # 2. is wrong !

it should be:
http://rafi@rafi.homeip.net/protected/
and then:
http://rafi.homeip.net/    or "UP"  (no user/PW...)

Yes okay, but this won't make any difference.

But when you open a new browser window and you surf directly to http://user:pass@nettp.homeip.net:9080/ or http://rafi@rafi.homeip.net/ do you then see the folder "Protected" listed?

No. May be this is the problem. It SHOULD show it... ?  8O

Edit:
I think you are right, it should show it the first time. May be an IE6 problem ?

I'm sorry for not being clear in the beginning of this post because this is what I was trying to explain.  Using http://user:pass@host:port works as long as you protect the root.  If the root is not protected, which is what I started this about, http://user:pass@host:port will only show the unprotected folders and not the protected folders.  So you will have to know the name of the protected folder you want to get to.  

Rejetto, have any idea why it works for you and noone else?

ok, i found

it is Exploder that ignores user/pass in the URL, until the page is denied.
but i can't deny the root page if it is not actually protected, because this would cause unauthenticated users to not browse unprotected resources.

...looking for a solution... :read:
