You cannot POST/PUT to a DefaultDoc on IIS5.x even if the DefaultDoc is
non-static content (like an ASP page).
Changing Authentication type (like anonymous and any other authentication)
on a website can also fail to POST from IE due to:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;251404
One of the simplest ways to get custom authentication is to use Forms
Authentication of ASP.Net.

This is a very strange issue
I am using IIS 5.0 on Windows 2000 Server SP3.
I have an ActiveX control for an intranet application which uses the PUT
verb to write a file to the server.
It is called from an ASP page. It is contained in a virtual directory that
uses IWAM only as the authentication method.
When i start a new browser session and browse to the site containing the
control eg
http://server/vdir/ the file will not upload BUT using
http://server/vdir/login.asp will work.
The default document in the vdir is login.asp
Seems to me that when i use the default document it will not work at all.
Though when the system uses the Anonymous authentication it works on both
counts
The link
http://server/vdir/ displays login.asp correctly
Anyone got any ideas on why or how to solve this problem other than
distributing the link as
http://server/vdir/login.asp
Best Regards
Niall
