I just tried that and it works in Firefox, Chrome and Opera but it is failing
in IE and Konqueror. I tried a few versions of each of these browsers and
the results are consistent. I don't see why it is failing though.

I tried exactly what is up there along with also trying self.docLoginRedirect 
instead of docLogin. I used wireshark to watch the connection and I don't see 
anything wrong with it.

0. INTRODUCTION.

exUserFolder is an extensible authentication product for the Zope
Application Server. It allows a user to choose from a number of
methods of authenticating their users, and allows the setting and
fetching of arbitrary properties on a User object.

Authentication methods, and Property methods do not have to use the
same backing store, so it is possible to use legacy user sources, and

If I go to the page that the Refresh refers to in any of the browers that 
works fine. The raise form works fine on older versions of zope with no issues 
on any of these browers. Konqueror and IE will both have their icons spinning 
on that page like they are waiting for something.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated. I have tried lots of things to get
it working.
