Auth. needed when uploading Files ?!

UweT
Hello fellows!

Following problem:

We are using the web proxy/filter in our school for teachers and students. Port 8080 and Active Directory binding.
It's all working fine except for:
When a teacher/students wants to upload a file (PDF, JPG...) to a website (yahoo.com, prezi.com, whatever...) a HTTP-Proxy window pops up asking for authorization!

That happens in IE and Firefox.

This hinders a lot. No one is really able to use web services properly because of that.

One work around I have found: On the Astaro (7.504) > Web Security > HTTP/S > Exceptions Tab... I have created a new exception that is "Skipping:" the "Authentication" for the "Target Domains:" "yahoo.com, prezi.com, mediafire.com" (last thing is a webstorage service).

But an optimal solution would be no get rid of that auth. window on every site that the user want to upload files to.

What is the matter at all and how can I fix that?

Thank you VERY much in advance!

    If the user skips the authorization screen, what happens to the request?  Also, what relative line appears in the Content Filter log?  What appears in the User authentication log when the user ?  What shows up when the user puts in his credentials?

    Cheers - Bob

    Here is my late reply:

    This is the only abnormal log entry I can see (one of similar ones) taken from the HTTP proxy log:

    2010:09:16-09:04:44 disgwac httpproxy[362]: id="0002" severity="info" sys="SecureWeb" sub="http" name="web request blocked" action="block" method="POST" srcip="192.168.***.YYY" user="username" statuscode="404" cached="0" profile="REF_MLbapQqRNM (Administration)" filteraction=" ()" size="2279" time="187738 ms" request="0xa64c2d20" url="passthrough.fw-notify.net/.../291239" exceptions="" error=""

    Nothing in the user authentication log and the application does not continue if one clicks the login pop up windows away.
