Indeed he is! :-) However... with regard to the fix, I seem to have spoken to quickly.
Although adding the FormAuthenticator valve fixed the immediate problem I was experiencing, it seems to also cause other issues (again, this only appears on IE). My application has a polling thread that periodically calls a specific URL. With the FormAuthenticator valve enabled, the behaviour 'appears' to be that the HTTPService is called, the response handler is fired, but *the server never receives a request*. What makes it even stranger is that the response handler has a valid response definition. My hunch is that setting the disableProxyCaching=false is working against me in this case and only the first call is ever making it to my servlet. Make sense?
