I've got a tomcat app with apache (2.2) in front of it. Apache handles the auth through LDAP and requires membership in a specific group. One of the app features allows the user to generate an csv file from some data and download it. When this download fires with an IE client, the browser also issues an HTTP OPTIONS request against / which fails with a 401 and pops the auth dialog again. Users can just cancel that dialog and proceed, but I'd rather it didn't appear at all! Is there some way to configure apache to route OPTIONS requests to the bit-bucket? Is it Apache or really Tomcat that's generating the 401? Any hints/clues appreciated!
