Hi David, I just tried switching to BASIC authentication and when you try and hit the zip file directly you get the login dialog box coming up but then the same error. Logging in first then trying to open the file has the same results as before.
If I try it with a bin file firefox gives me an "open with" option and IE treats it as text and just opens it in the browser itself, both after taking you via the login page. I didn't have an .iso to hand so haven't tried that. Any other ideas?

I bet IE is getting mislead by the redirect that occurs from login form. html/gif/pdf/png/jpeg file are opened inside IE while zip are opened by external application. Did you try a a .bin or .iso etc?
