WEBDAV: Cannot open document by copying link into web browser

[J H <do...@hotmail.com>]

Hi All,

I sent an e-mail about this last week, but I wanted to run some new 
information by everyone.

What I am trying to do is launch a web browser (internet explorer) with the 
url location of a document stored in webdav and secured with digest 
authenitcation.  To get the URL I am browsing out to the document via the 
http://localhost:8080/webdavserver/collection/report.pdf, if I get to the 
document by clicking each of the links, I have no problem viewing the 
document.  However, if I copy the report.pdf url and paste it into a new 
browser, I get an authentication window, enter my credentials and then I get 
an open/save option box, when I select either option, it says that "Internet 
Explorer was not able to open this Internet site.  The requested site is 
either unavailable or cannot be found.  Please try again later"  Now the 
weird thing is if I make a simple html page referencing this document, and 
click on it I can view the document just fine.  PLEASE HELP.

I e-mailed out this question a few weeks ago, and got back the suggestion 
that I simply download the document to my client and open it that way.  I 
have a problem doing this because the application I am creating is an applet 
being served out over the web, and I don't want to risk leaving sensitive 
documents on a client computer once they log out or close their browser.  
Any suggetions would be greatly apprecitated!

I have tested this on a 2k box with ie 5, and an xp box with ie 6, both 
yield the same results...

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!
Jeff

Usually it does. Due to the worms mail delivery may take more than a day
sometimes. Please try again. If you still get mail tomorrow you may complain 
to  slide-dev-owner@jakarta.apache.org 
Please take care, that you use the same email address for unsubscribing  as
for subscribing. Beware of mail aliases.

We had the same experience and are believing that this is a IE bug.

If you find another root of the problem I would be glad to hear about
it.
