Jason,
Correct! The source for 8.2 is different from that in the book.
The two lines
<snip>
res.setHeader("WWW-Authenticate", "BASIC realm=\"users\"");
res.sendError(res.SC_UNAUTHORIZED);
</snip>
need to be in this order for the code to work in IE, and this is the order
they're in on the website. In the book they are in reverse order.
Thanks for your help, its much appreciated.
Cheers
Bruce
