I agree that that would work, but I'm not using any servlets to download the
files, and thus have no where to place the code. I've basically just set up
a folder, threw the word documents into it, and put a WEB-INF/web.xml (with
security) in it as well. I was using apache's .htaccess before, but needed
to move things to tomcat to use the single-signon.
Any other solutions out there?
Cheers,
Brad

that required basic auth to access. The problem I've come across is that
when downloading (viewing) the files in IE, word can't find the file (it's
not cached http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=317208). I've checked out the
headers using wget and it looks like tomcat is adding the Pragma and
Cache-Control headers (which causes the IE problem). Note that I'm running
apache infront of tomcat.

basically using tomcat in place of Apache's .htaccess files, since I need to
use tomcat's single-signon for other *real* applications.
