digest auth doesn't play well with subrequests

           Summary: digest auth doesn't play well with subrequests
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0-HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_auth_digest
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
                CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Digest auth doesn't cooperate well with subrequests, because it insists on using
the URI from the Auth header instead of the URI in the subrequest.

I may be getting some of the subtleties wrong here; please see this mail from
Justin Erenkrantz for a better description:

http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=50876

It's part of this thread

http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=dev&by=thread&from=135712

...which starts with Ben Collins-Sussman explaining why Subversion's recent
switch to using subrequests for authorization broke digest auth, for users who
had previously been using it successfully.

Oh: and later, in a private email exchange, Sander Striker tentatively confirmed
Brian Fitzpatrick's outline of a solution:

   That sounds about right.
