00662: Upload Fails on Windows with Apache due to Double Authentication

Description: Description

Steps: 1. Enable Upload in config.php 2. Create Attach link 3. Click on the link

It asks for password. After that it takes you to upload page where you specify the details. On submitting it asks you *twice* for password. Subsequently it fails (every time).

Cause

The second redirection causes the $_FILES data to be lost, so it gives a no file found error.

Workaround

Set in config.php $DefaultPasswords['upload'] = '';

How is the Apache server configured -- is it set up to require authentication of some sort? Is the Apache server performing redirection of any sort? I need a few more details about the specific installation to be able to track this one down.
