Re: .htaccess - Still asking for login information although already sent through address bar

"Nathan Taylor" <Lakario@msn.com> wrote in message news:BAY3-DAV50nQAYeeest00005a40@hotmail.com... Does it continuously ask or just twice? I've found a weird issue with .htaccess where if the domain name is a mask for a subdomain host and you try to access an .htaccess protected page it will prompt you for the password, redirect you to the subdomain and then prompt you again.

Try changing to https://user:pass@www.domain.com/ -- Mika Tuupola http://www.appelsiini.net/~tuupola/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php If I use my login form, the login box pops up only once. If I copy the text from the address bar (generated by the form) and paste it into the address bar (after restarting the browser) the logon box does not appear. Weird eh?
