Hi Fabrizio, 

I can think of a hack including mod_rewrite and possibly mod_security,
but it means a potential breach of your security and is really
complicated. Unless you absolutely have to (and "ugly popup" sounds
annoying, but not really lethal) I would stick with the situation
as is. If you really have to, then there are a lot of learning 
opportunities ahead. ;)

However, I'd be happy to hear about Firefox on Linux being able to respond
to NTLM by itself. Have not checked that in quite some time. And it
would solve your problem too, I suppose.

regs,

Christian
