Hi all,

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I guess I just try.
I created a password-protected website and have Browser dependent problems with the permission to the scripts. Heres the situation:

1. Scenario: HTML-Page redirects to perlscript1.cgi which contains a link to perlscript2.cgi

2. With Firefox and IE for Mac, thw whole thing works perfectly, with IE (6.0....) the first script works, the second gives a "Permnission denied" error.

3. Authentication is provided by the web hosting company, I don't have anything to do with it.

Does anyone has experience with this problem? any help would be greatly apprieciated!
thanks
Ben
