As I noted in a later post, I get this on a standard zope install. I simply create a folder which requires authentication to view or access contents information. I place somefile.doc and index_html in there. I then access index_html, and authenticate. If I then try and open somefile.doc I get a http authentication dialog box again. This doesn't happen on a right-click save. The error log indicates the user agent generating this failed authentication is 'Microsoft Data Access Internet Publishing Provider DAV'. This happens only on IE on windows (never seen it on IE on mac) and only on some IE/windows combinations. Haven't been able to trace it to a specific browser version, or anything like that. Definitely repeatable across zope sites, all of which are using Zope-2.7.2 in various configurations. Haven't tested other zopes. JDH
