REMOTE_USER variable gets dropped when using .htaccess





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2002-07-14 06:20 -------
.htaccess isn't the problem.  It seems more to be in the use of AddHandler and 
Action.

If a similar simple script exists in the directory and is executable under the 
ExecCGI rules, then REMOTE_USER is passed:
.htaccess:
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName Test
    AuthUserFile /path/to/password/file

    Require valid user (or Require user name)

Then a script in that directory like this shows the environment variable:

test.cgi:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Content-Type: text/plain"
echo
echo "Remote User: $REMOTE_USER"

However, identifying such a script in an Action or Script directive causes the 
variable to be lost somewhere, as in this as well as the case originally 
outlined:

httpd.conf:
Script PUT /path/to/the/above/script

.htaccess:
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "no REMOTE_USER"
   AuthUserFile /path/to/password/file

   <Limit PUT>
      Require user name
   </Limit>

and the variable REMOTE_USER does not appear.
