The requester [eg. client] won't have to [authenticate] - that's the
responsibility of the ASP server-side code - presumably using the XMLHTTP
method may work unless Microsoft's url 'fix' has broken it.

Thanks for your response. I guess the main issue is how this technique will
allow the requester to be authenticated with the firewall in order to
provide access to the document.
