Seems IE browsers are not allowed to acknowledge alerts. When I fill in the fields and press the button, a web page is returned that says
Bad request! Your browser (or proxy) sent a request that this server could not understand If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster
Error 400
I am running apache 2.0.52 on Solaris and this is what the access log shows. The firefox one underneath works. Anyone have any ideas? Seems like the username is not passed in the log???

I'm unable to reproduce this, and it seems it works OK for others as well. The log snippet you included also shows that the request sent from IE is identical to the one sent from Mozilla (at least as far as the logged data is concerned).
Is it possible for you to run "snoop" to catch the IE request as sent on the wire ? Something like
snoop -s 1514 -r -o ie-ack.snoop host 128.230.4.95 and tcp port 80
should do it (the IP is the IP of your client running IE).
Seems like the username is not passed in the log???
Maybe it's a security setting in IE that breaks it by not including the authorization header ...
