> > Synopsis: Suggestion for improving authentication modules and core source > code, problem with 401 and ErrorDocument
Real quick...in my note I mis-spokle (although all the modifications and problems are still valid). When you use a 401 ErrorDocument handler, I stated that Apache sends a blank "WWW-Authenticate:" header. This was incorrect...Apache doesn't send _any_ "WWW-Authenticate:" header. It is up to the CGI script to generate it correctly. The original problem still stands, though...you can't generate the WWW-Authenticate header in the CGI script since you don't have any information regarding the authentication method that triggered the 401 error.
