[imp] Odd Firefox over a modem IMP problem

[tdrewry at bu.edu]

the Setup:

Server (solaris)
- Horde/IMP/Turba/Ingo CVS versions 3,4,2 and 1 accordingly.

- Horde is configured with http authentication.

- Imp is setup to use hordeauth and we only have single server configured.

Over ethernet this works like a champ.

the Problem:

So, we have people dialing up and accessing Horde/IMP.  If this client is using
IE, Netscape 7.x or even AOL's 'Web browers', there is no problem.  However,
when
a client access Horde/IMP via firefox or mozilla IMP fails to successfully grab
the credentials.  The client is presented with the IMP login page (very much
not what is desired since it's not really configured to go anywhere) and a
successful click of the browsers refresh key corrects the error and displays
the mail box correctly.

the Question:

Is this a resolvable issue from withing IMP? Or should I be pointing my concerns
over to Mozilla and Firefox's people?

While some of the code is customized to account for our needs here, I don't
believe that those changes should impact the basic functionality of IMP.

The biggest change I've made is to setup usage of the notification system as a
MOTD/System Messages tool.

Any help or comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
