I'm running jboss-3.2.7 and need to use a custom 401 error page with my 
servlets.  But by doing so, I don't get a dialog box asking me to authenticate 
and it immediately errors out and displays the custom 401 page.  If I comment 
out the following from my web.xml,

<error-page>
  |     <error-code>401</error-code>
  |     <location>/unauth.jsp</location>
  | </error-page>

then I properly get the dialog box prompting me to log in, but the default 
Tomcat/5.0.30 error page is used.   After doing some cURL tests, I noticed that 
when I use a custom 401 error page, I lose the WWW-Authentication header that 
is passed via:

resp.setHeader("WWW-Authenticate", "Basic realm=\"" + realmName + "\"");
  | resp.sendError(HttpServletResponse.SC_UNAUTHORIZED);

Searching the Internet shows that this could be a bug in many versions of 
Tomcat.  Is there a fix or work-around for this bug?
