Did nobody notice that Internet Explorer 6 is seriously broken?
Ok, of course that was noticed. Let me reformulate: Did nobody notice that you cannot visit sites using htdigest standard authentication with Internet Explore 6 since Windows XP SP2 happened?
I seldomly bash Microsoft (I like .NET, much!) but this cannot be for real. Think about it. The de-facto standard browser is not able to visit password-protected SSL sites and nobody noticed it?
A little hack for the apache web server solves Microsoft’s problems where they aren’t supposed to be solved, by correcting the garbage sent my IE6 in the web server. Nice. I’m not sure whether I just drop support for Internet Explorer or enable this stupid hack. My only other option would be to revert back to basic authentication.
Well, in case you came to this place from google, the typical apache log shows “GET /index.php HTTP/1.1″ 400 293. The solution is here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_auth_digest.html#msie
