Hi list!
I'm having a small problem. I have basic authentication set up (httpd v2.2.0), and it works as I would expect - except that when a user requests a Windows Media file (wmv) from a subordinate page, the client browser prompts again for the user's credentials. When correctly re-entered, the wmv file is served up and plays in the browser. If not entered, or incorrectly entered, the file is not served up and the client browser (IE 6) issues an authentication error.
I would have expected no such secondary authentication prompt, as the file is found in a directory subordinate to the one established for the authentication realm in the httpd.conf file.
I'm not sure if this is a client browser issue, a Windows Media Player issue, or an apache issue. I'm hoping this question has been asked and answered before, but a fairly extensive google search has not seemed to reveal anything relevant, and the FAQ doesn't seem to address this issue.
What am I missing? Are there relevant parts of my httpd.conf file that might be useful to post?
Thanks in advance for any pointers or assistance.
