Thanks David That behavior is the best i could acomplish be header() also. But i found another way : 1. I link to a nonexiting directroy: http://www.mydomain.de/pdfs/test.pdf 2. i catch 404s by htaccess redirection 3. i parse the REDIRECT_URI if the request is for a pdf in that vitual directory 4. if true and the file exists i include the downloadscript, which checks for authorisation 5. else raise either authentication of 404 6. works on all browsers !!!! thanks for your suggestions Sebastian > -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- > Von: David Minor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 30.
