    Hello,

    We've had a third party develop a Flash based mapping tool that we are trying to protect behind AMember. The tool works perfectly outside of AMember but as soon as the directory is protected we run into issues with the tool's admin area being able to upload images. It just hangs after you try to upload. Using Fiddler we were able to see that at some point during the upload process the User-Agent switches from the browser to 'Shockwave Flash'. When there isn't any authentication going on this isn't an issue but with cookies/sessions/whatever it throws a wrench into the system. Does anyone one have any suggestions on how to avoid this issue? I did not develop the mapping tool and don't have contact with the developer. Are there any .htaccess tricks an Apache novice like myself might be able to implement to work around this issue?

    Thanks in advance for any help or feedback!

    I believe that tool just make internal request to your server and that request just don't have necessary cookies inside .
    I can help to modify .htaccess file if you will provide ftp access and explain how to recreate issue exactly.
    Please contact me in helpdesk.
