Hello all, thank you for your suggestions to my problem. I have solved it this way:
use Apache (); my $r=Apache->request(); my $auth=$r->header_in("Authorization"); $auth =~ s/Basic//; my ($user, $pass)=split(/:/, decode_base64($auth)); Apache is configured *without* any Authentication handlers. The deeper reason for this solution lies in the fact, that I am refactoring some existing application which became too slow with an increasing number of clients, because the user authentification and other data processing was made in two steps between webserver and database. I have now modified the database schema and queries in such a way, that all work is done with a single "select" into the database, which calls some stored procedures in the SQL server which do all user auth etc. Therefore I did not need Apache to do any authentification anymore. -- ---> doj / cubic ----> http://www.cubic.org -----> http://llg.cubic.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
