Well, whatever problem was there a week ago is indeed solved now, but it
wasn't a problem of a web proxy or firewall on my end. Perhaps others
pointed out the same problem (since the banner was appearing on messages in
many different Wrox p2p mailing lists) and it has since been resolved
without direct reply to my query. Thanks for noticing, though.

Actually, it doesn't...  I went to that site a few days ago, and I went
again just now, and I don't get prompted for a username or password.

Maybe you're asked to authenticate yourself on a web proxy or firewall on
your end of the network, but the problem doesn't seem to lie on wrox's end.

Take care,

Nik

Hey Wrox folks, regarding this ad banner showing up at the top of notes,
such as that below (and I assume right above this note, too), the address:

http://p2p.wrox.com/edocs.asp

leads to a web server authentication prompt for username and password. If
one doesn't know one, it just goes to a typical "You are not authorized to
view this page" screen.

If you're trying to motivate us to look at this service (which may indeed be
a cool thing), could you either direct us to a page "about" the feature or
at least cause the failure to provide a username/password to go to a page
the explains what it's about.

As it, it's probably creating more ill will than good (as if putting an ad
banner at the top of an email message isn't likely seen by some as bad
enough).

PS I realize this is popping up on other Wrox P2P lists as well, and isn't
restricted to the Pro Java list, but it's where I first noticed it.
