httpd is too strict about Authorization-header for cgi

           Summary: httpd is too strict about Authorization-header for cgi
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.48
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_cgi
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Apache 2.0.48 does not pass HTTP_AUTHORIZATION header to the cgi script without
special server configuration.

I know this is to protect username + password from the binary when httpd does
the authentication.

If this is the only reason, why doesn't httpd pass HTTP_AUTHORZATION to the
script when it doesn't have its own authentication configured for cgi file /
directory?

I need this feature to provide my own authentication using standard methods
(Digest Authentication) and to be web server independent.

I know Apache can support Digest Authentication in itself, but it would need
special support for adding users the way apache wants to read them. That would
be different for every WWW-server out there. And I would still have to do my own
Digest Authentication for servers that do not support that at all but will pass
the needed variables.
