Word 2007 problem with embedded hyperlink and IE7

T

Thierry Lach

We've got a word document with hyperlinks in it. One of the links handled by
an application (app1) which immediately redirected to a different application
(app2) after a cookie is added to it. The receiving application (app2)
checks for the cookie then displays the page if it is present, and an error
page if not.

When we click on that link, IE7 gets launched, but the page that shows up is
the error page not the expected normal page.

I used the tool Fiddler2 for an HTTP protocol trace to figure out what is
going wrong.

What appears to be happening is this:

1. App1 adds the cookie and redirects.
2. Word handles the redirect and does a GET from App2. This includes the
cookie. The response from the get contains the properly formatted page.
3. IE7 does an identical GET from App2 EXCEPT that it does not include the
cookie. App2 correctly redirects to an error page.
4. The end result is that IE7 shows the error page.

Help!
