If so, you can imagine why that would be a security breach and that it would naturally pop up an authentication so that any ole' Joe Blow can't download your dbs full of sensitive data.Also, I'm not sure there's enough evidence here to say that it's WebCatalog putting up the authentication -- WebCatalog doesn't step in unless you have .db suffix-mapped to WebCatalog.-- Technical Support ********************************** Smith Micro, Internet Solutions Div | eCommerce (WebCatalog) 16855 West Bernardo Drive, #380 | ------------------------- San Diego, CA 92127 | Software & Site Development WebCatalog Support: (858) 675-0632 | http://www.smithmicro.com Fax: (858) 675-0372 **********************************------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
