I just updated from drupal core 7.14 to 7.17. I have a password protected folder on my server. On a private page i have paths to files in the private folder that are now sending me to a 401 redirect. I am putting the paths directly in the body of the node (not as a file field). eg Acting Out!. The files are all there and the path is correct.
Links to files in the non password protected directory are working fine. I contacted my host server and they said it was not their end it was likely in the drupal code. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?
Thanks!

Perhaps a permission problem.
Perhaps a permission problem. Double check this point !
Where is the protected directory ? Inside drupal root or external to httpdocs ?

the path is d7/sites/default/files/Private/grants/mvgf.
grants is the password protected folder.
I don't know how to check permissions on this. I protected the folder directly on the server not through drupal. It isn't like the username and password are not being accepted, it is actually redirecting to an error page saying that page does not exist even though the path to the pdf is correct.
I just noticed on my content type for that page that there is a new line in my list of fields that wasn't there prior to upgrading core.
The line in my fields list reads: URL redirects* redirect Redirect module form elements
I don't seem to be able to delete it. Could this be related? I do have the Redirects module which i also updated to current version along with core.
