Jeremy,
Did you ever find a solution to this auth problem ? I tried
to recreate the error that you were having, but could not.
I was using Apache::ASP v.16 & (dev) v.17 on Solaris &
WinNT, with apache's 1.3.4, 1.3.6, and mod_perl's 1.17,
and 1.20.
I created a test directory with the .htaccess:
> <FilesMatch "\.(asp)$">
> SetHandler perl-script
> PerlHandler Apache::ASP
> PerlSetVar Global /tmp
> PerlSetVar CookiePath /
> PerlSetVar SessionTimeout .5
> </FilesMatch>
and then a sub admin directory with the .htaccess:
> AuthUserFile htpass
> AuthName "Administration Pages"
> AuthType Basic
> require valid-user
and when browsing the admin directory, got the normal
user/pass basic auth prompt. You had said that v.16
messes things up for you, but not v.15, but everything
works for me with v.16, and there aren't any changes
that I'm aware of that would create this behavior for you.
There were some auth changes in v.16, but that was for
when the ASP scripts handles the auth itself. The problem
you have seems to be that something is getting in the way
of the normal auth mechanism. Are there any error messages
of note when this happens to you ?
Sorry for my tardiness on this dealing. I've been behind
on things because of a recent move.
