Just do

There's no need to have Apache handle it.
I have an app with both an HTML and a REST/XML interface (under
'/REST/'), and simply give the REST controller its own auto() sub,

I am slow today. What you said here has slowly percolated through my

not get it out of my mind that I had to set up Apache to request basic
authentication for (in your

is able to read the authentication data sent by the client system!
Thanks. That solves my problem I believe.
