The older topic you mention has to do with downloading. Your test is for uploading. But anyway...
That's why I didn't reply to the prior, but started this thread.
If you can't enter http://<host.nl>/upload without entering valid user/pass for the upload folder, how did you browse to http://<host.nl>/upload/~upload ?
Good question. I'm having an older bookmark to
http://<host.nl>/upload/~upload don't remember how I got there in the first place.
I did remember this 'bug' from HFS 2.0. Just downloaded 2.1b and wanted to check it was still there.
Indeed I enter the location manually. Using Firefox (Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0)
I pass several firewalls to get to the HFS host which is at another location. I monitor this host by a tunneled VNC.
So I can verify whether or not the uploaded file is actually there. And it is.
When I'm presented with the upload success page and attempt to go back, then the login popup appears. I have to enter BOTH valid username and password before the upload is posted to the filelist. If not, the upload is cancelled.
Hitting the back-button indeed makes the popup appear. By the way browsing is not enabled.
Neither is download or the hidden features.
Also checked with IE 7 beta 3. Don't like either, but for testing purposes.
I could send you a private e-mail with the hostname,a username but no password.
You can try uploading a file yourself. E.g. txt file with a specific line in it.
I then can quote that line.
Thanks,
Mark
