htaccess asks for u/p on all subdirectories

[canajun]

I have an .htaccess protected directory, that has a number of subdirectories.. upon entering the subdirectory, you must reenter your username and password. (there is no second .htaccess file in the subdirectory)

The only difference I can see, is when asked for your username and password the first time, the usual pop up says: Enter your username and password for "members only" at

http://www.xxxxx.com;

The second request, when entering a subdirectory, says: Enter your username and password for "members only" at xxxxx.com

-- the

http://www has

been dropped.. now I can see that this to apache, would appear as a different location, but how is the

http://www being

dropped in the first place..

Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks!

How are you getting from a location in the main protected directory to a location in one of the protected subdirectories?

If it's via a link on the page from the main protected subdirectory, check your HTML links. It may not be specifying the "

http://www."

part of the URL in the link.

Hi.. yes that was one of the first things I checked. I get there via a link in a java menu program.

What's the URL in the browser when the second password dialog opens?

Hi..

The browser address bar shows the following:

The url of the first protected directory is:

http://www.xxx.xx/abcd/

The url of the subdirectory is:

http://www.xxx.xx/abcd/efg/file.cgi
