Problem with IRM and .htaccess ...

[zmax]

Im not sure if this is a known problem or oddity or what.
My main domain is www.glowsquid.com
I recently added an IRM called www.worldwidecat.com
I wanted to test how .htaccess works in an irm.

I created a test directory in the wwc area and copied a .htaccess file from another directory that I know is setup and works. I then created in the directory an index.htm file.

As you know if you specify a directory in a browser url such as http://www.worldwidecat.com/test where test is the directory, the browser will grab the default file it finds like index.htm and present it.

However, where the directory test is protected, when I enter the url http://www.worldwidecat.com/test, and I then enter the correct id and password, I get a 404 not found error and the url link in the location edit box is: http://www.glowsquid.com/test

I have a 404 file in wwc which works fine.
Then if I repeat this process but include index.htm in the url specifically, it then finds the correct file no problem.

Whats going on? Can this be fixed?

Thanks.
