Yes I had tried all those below before posting. It sounds like this is the only way to deal with authentication from what I see. In windows it works fine from the browser to include name and pass in url. In Linux it comes back and asks for the pw again. I'd think the only difference would be in headers. Is there any header info todo with authentication which come from the client which are not set by doing the url name and pw?
