[SOLVED]Webclient gives Login Form instead of PDF download

Greetings, fellow Alfresco fans,
I currently have a behaviour of the 2.9b webclient, that baffles me. When I try to view/download a pdf file from my site,
I get a HTML login form instead of the file content. It has worked before and I really do not know, what i did change. Do you have any ideas ?

When I access the same file via CIFS, all is fine. Other filetypes like TXT, DOC, etc. work fine both ways.

Regards, Norgan
