[jcifs] Re: windows login popup following session timeout on a form.submit

[Bill Comer]

Is it relevant that the document.submit() is a POST ?

The other thing I have noticed is that the windows popup occurrs following a
call to HttpServletResponse.flushBuffer() in the method
NtlmProcessingFilterEntryPoint.commence()
