This is a strange problem and I wonder if anybody has experienced this
annoying anomaly.

I created a new ASP.NET project with its web-shared directory on my WinXP
Pro/IIS machine. I compile the project and everything is fine so far.

Accessing the default page with Internet Explorer 6.0 shows the page as
expected. I am however using FireFox as my browser (don't ask why). Using
FireFox 1.0 on the new ASP.NET project brings up an authentication dialog:

Please enter username and password for "" on
http://localhost/MyWebProject.

Now that is odd because the page in question (nor any of those within the
project) request user authentication.

However, I know that after some use (how much it depends) under some random
circumstances, the project works fine with both browsers.

I submitted a but to the FireFox team, but I am sure there is *something* in
the newly created web applications (default settings) that make the other
browser get confused. I want to know what that is because at the moment I am
investigating a rendering issue so I need to have the project operational
with both IE and FireFox.

Thanks
Emilio

Check IIS. Do you have "integrated auth" turned on? Dont think that FF
supports it, only IE.

Thanks a Million Curt! I had just noticed that I was getting these two
headers in the response (used dHTTP utility)

WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate
WWW-Authenticate: NTLM

That did not affect IE, but caused FF to stumble to its knees. I checked the
local web share in question and indeed it had (seems to be the default)
Integrated Authentication option checked. I disabled and enabled anonymous
access and now it is fine.

Thanks!
Emilio
