: Now, I looked at your request logging, and it seems something is going
on -
: the second request should maintain the credentials assuming you are using
: the same browser window as before.
:
: Now, you seem certain that this is a bug. I would call Microsoft PSS
: (Product Support Services), and open a call to debug the issue. Certainly
: it's a not common problem (otherwise lots of people be having problems
with
: Basic Authentication), and it doesn't manifest itself on my copy of IE,
nor
: any other copy of IE that I've had before. If there is a bug in IE that
you
: are using, then you will not have to pay - it'll be fixed for free by
: Microsoft.

Also, this appears to be a problem with IE, not IIS. From your request
logging, it is IE that's no sending the credentials. Either post the IE
version you are usng, or perhaps follow up this uestiono in one of the IE
newsgroups?
