And if you click "save", what does the saved file contain? > No mention of any error in the httpd log file. It sounds like some disagreement between the browser and the CGI over MIME types. You really need to get a HTTP dump of the session to debug what is going on. Try running on the server: tcpdump -n -i eth0 -s1500 -X tcp port 80 and host x.x.x.x where x.x.x.x is the IP address of the client you are connecting from. Save the output of the tcpdump in a file. You are looking for the point where the server sends back a page after the login has been submitted, when you get the "save/open/cancel" dialog box. Put the tcpdump output up on a web page somewhere, or post to the list, and we'll have a look. If you're not sure where in the HTTP transaction your password is sent, then change your password to a dummy value temporarily before making the tcpdump, and change it back afterwards, to prevent your password being seen.
