Basic Authenticaiton not working with Internet Explorer

| We have a website with Basic Authentication turned on and
Allow Anonymous turned off. When we do a
response.redirect in an asp page to a file on that
website and we pass the username and password in the
header, we get challenged for credentials with Internet
Explorer. However, in netscape we do not get challenged
and we are able to download the file. How do we fix this
with Internet Explorer?

| You pass the username in the header? What header?
The username/password needs to be sent by the browser, not by the server,
and Response.Redirect only sets a HTTP header from the server to the client.
