One workaround is to disable the 'use_path_info' option in Chora, which will result in IE seeing a '.php' extension instead of the '.xml' extension. The old PATH_INFO urls will still work, but new links will use GET propagation for the cvs-path. Another one is to pad the PATH_INFO for diffs with a '.txt' extension which will fool IE. I don't think I'll bother doing this when the above option is much cleaner. Anil
