Ah yes that was indeed the problem! I seem to remember the user guide
saying in a few places that a login was "required" if the user came
from a remote-address, and this really threw me for a loop since the
only thing that required a login was to modify settings.

I've setup a local fossil repository by exactly following these

The server's repository was cloned from a temporary copy of the
original repo. I am able to push new changes into this properly through
the CGI interface using a username and password.

However, when I pull up my CGI interface in a browser, I am able to
fully browse all contents of the file without needing to put in a
username or password.

Check my access logs, the requests are not somehow coming from loopback
- they are indeed coming from a remote IP.

How is this possible and what should I do to fix it? My understanding
was that by default any request that isn't from loopback would require
a username and password in order to view anything. Is that incorrect?

Turning on the "Require password for local access" option has not
effect on this (as I don't expect it should).

Thanks in advance for any help!
