SYMPTOMS
========
After you log on to an Outlook Web Access (OWA) client and open a message with
an attached .avi or .wav file, the attachment generates the following error:
Windows Media Player cannot open
'https://red-01-
http/exchange/Attach/read.asp?obj=00000000B6171E2FFD62CF11AC5800805F705D

Please verify that the path and filename are correct and try again.
(Error=8004406D)
This only occurs using Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player version
6.00.02.0902.
CAUSE
=====
Internet Explorer does not store the session cookie when requesting the URL for
the attachment. This causes a new session cookie to be generated when requesting
the file. Because this new cookie is from a non-authenticated user, javascript
code is returned rather than the attached file itself. Because Media Player does
not understand javascript, it generates the above error.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article.
