When I access my web site at
http://ed4becky.dnsalias.org/comics/jsp/titlelist.jsp,
I get a 404 not found error.

Now, comics/jsp is a secure area, so the auth.html screen should
come up.

comics/WEB-INF/web.xml includes the following:
    <login-config>
      <auth-method>FORM</auth-method>
      <realm-name>Example Form-Based Authentication Area</realm-name>
      <form-login-config>
        <form-login-page>/auth.html</form-login-page>
        <form-error-page>/auth_error.html</form-error-page>
      </form-login-config>
    </login-config>

Instead I get a 'Page Cannot be Found' error.  If I go right back
to http://ed4becky.dnsalias.org/comics/jsp/titlelist.jsp from the same
window, I am sent to the login screen and THEN to titlelist!!

Why am I not sent to auth.html the first time, but the scond time is
fine?

Any help?

Thanx - Ed
