    I need to access files via SSL-encrypted WebDAV from our server at a remote
    site from locked-down workstations, basically with IE6 configured with
    limited functionality and only a few apps.

    The connection needs to be dropped when the browser is closed. The secure
    web site address can be found afterwards in the browser history, which can't
    be cleared.

    I have tested this from my workstation within the domain on the LAN. When
    connecting to the secure web sit with IE6, the connection is dropped when the
    browser window is closed, even though I can still access the directory
    through an AD share without additional logon requirement. Opening a new
    browser window with the secure web site address brings up the logon dialog
    box, as expected.

    This suggests that I can safely access the files remotely, and, although the
    web site address can be obtained from the browser history, the connection is
    closed when the browser is closed, and I wouldn't need to log off the system
    to clear the connection.

    Thanks
