[thelist] Alias' problems with Apache and IE

Hi there,

we've run into a strange thing. After restructuring our web site into  
something like this

   /www/site/htdocs         --> all html & php files
                    /download   --> files that can be downloaded by  
the user
                    /temp            --> temporary files created by  
the user and deleted every couple of minutes

The URL (www.xxx.yy) accesses directly the files in htdocs.

To access files in the directories one level up (download and temp)  
we've created an Alias in the Apache2 conf file. (Running Linux)

The only browser having problems with accessing files in these two  
folders, is IE. I've tested on a dozen other browsers - no problem.  
But IE refuses cooperation. Once we've moved the temp and download  
folder into the htdocs level - no more problem.

Did anyone experience similar problems? I would like to keep the  
structure as displayed above. But it seems that it won't work...

Thanks for any comments!
