When clicking the file in either Konqueror or Firefox. I hadn't even
realized I could use an HTTP url. It's very similar, though - OO _still_
pops up a password prompt, even if I use
http://admin:admin@localhost/code-tables/ocean/at_download/spreadsheet
wget works with that url:
$ wget
http://admin:admin@localhost/code-tables/ocean/at_download/spreadsheet -O - -q
"Code","Description"
"AT","ATLANTIC"
"AR","ARCTIC"
"I","INDIAN"
"P","PACIFIC"
"S","SOUTHERN"
"O","Other"
If I copy that file to /var/www/spreadsheet.csv and use
http://localhost/spreadsheet.csv to access it, I can open it from OO faster
than I can time it, which means it's definitely got something to do with
the passworded folders, but that's nuts anyway because, to open a file
streamed from the net, it shouldn't be sending a fresh request for a URL.
