authorization required

Since when have you required a password to access the Globe website?

"A user name and password are being requested by http://www.globemetalsandmining.com.au. The site says: "/home/globemet/public_html/


Authorization Required

This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

Additionally, a 401 Authorization Required error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request."

Is this part of the restrictive controls of the Chinese? If it is so 'public' as expressed in the link then how come the public cannot get access?

Cheers,
