Reading XML file from http

[=?Utf-8?B?RGF2aWQgVGhpZWxlbg==?=]

Hi;

I am trying to test reading a html file over http. So in IIS I create a
virtual directory and then in my NTFS permissions I set that directory to
only allow read from Domain Users. (I also allow control by admin).

I then access it using:
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
XmlUrlResolver resolver = new XmlUrlResolver();
resolver.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(username, password);
xmlDoc.XmlResolver = resolver;
xmlDoc.Load(filename);

However, I have two problems. The first is if I access the file via IE
using: http://lumiere.windward.local/domain...st_no/test.xml I am not
prompted for a username/password. I believe that having the .windward.local
means that my credentials are not passed to the server so shouldn't I be
prompted.

Second, when I use the above code and pass a bad password, I am able to
access the file.

Obviously I am doing something wrong. Any ideas what?

You need to turn off Allow Anonymous Access from the IIS admin.
