Hi there. I hope somebody can assist in pointing out my ignorance by solving this problem... :)

I have just installed a new DNN site on http://www.digitalrefraction.com, and all is working fine there.
I also have an unrelated ASP.Net MVC 2.0 (with extensionless URLs - for what that is worth)  application running in a subfolder on that domain, in the following URL:
http://www.digitalrefraction.com/refr...

I can do HTTP GET requests just fine to my sub application. However, the moment I do a POST I get an "Authentication Required" dialog box that says: "Enter a username and password for http://www.digitalrefraction.com".

Now I am confused. Why do POSTS and GETS to the main domain work fine, but then when I do a POST to the sub application, I get challenged for the main domain's authentication? But GETs to the sub application works!

Yes, I have checked the main DNN site's web.config, and have found no authorization entries at all. I tried adding some to allow anonymous access to /refractor, but that made no difference.
Also checked my sub applications web.config.
I am somewhat at a loss.

Note, I am talking about a sub application (sub folder), not a sub domain.

Any tips or ideas, or straight answers, will be greatly appreciated.  :)

Thanx.

Glad you have this working.  I was wondering if you tried the other method with location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false"  ?

Nope, I did not think of that.
Will keep it in mind.

Thank you much.
