Wininet Authentication Problem

[Jeffrey Cumpsty]

Can anyone help?

We have an internal web application which uses a proxy to handle user
authentication.

Sessions, and Authentication are handles by a client side cookie.

I have a requirement to download files from the server to the client
and process them with data (they are word documents).

THe application works fine outside the authenticated environment, but
once the security is put into it, I can not access my download
scripts.

Server side code is asp.net, C#. Client side has to be VB6, and is
presently using Wininet.dll.

Does anyone know how I can get the session from the web page, and pass
it into the VB6 ActiveX Control that resides on it?

Regards

Can you give more detail on what exactly the configuration is? I am assuming
that you have a VB6 client using Wininet, to communicate with a server. The
server side is written in asp.net/c#. It seems as if you want to pass some
information into the vb6 control, which resides on the webapp.

So, what problems are you having when you turn on security? WHat do you mean
by "turning on security" ?
