I have been unable to recreate this on Domino 5.0.11, running on OS/400 V5R1. I get a 404 instead, whether I use MSIE or Mozilla or Opera, whether the trailing dot is present or not, and whether my connection is anonymous or name-and-password authenticated. The difference here probably lies in the "Does this server use IIS?" option on the Domino Server Document (as maintained by the server's administrator). If checked, IIS handles all HTTP requests first. If this option is enabled, and the request is for non-Domino traffic (such as the examples listed in the original message), Domino does not receive the request. I have this option disabled on the system I tested; that particular operating system is not blessed with IIS. Please check Microsoft's knowledge base and this list's archives to see if this is another IIS bug. If that's the case, then it may be why Lotus is "not too concerned about this" - it's nothing they can fix. ************************************ James Redmond, Domino Administrator YMCA of Greater St. Louis +1-314-436-1177 ext. 326 FAX +1-314-436-1901 jredmondat_private ************************************
