Although I see that the browser is returning a: 'Authorization' => 'Basic dnZ2dnY6bW1tbW1tbW1t', header, the $r->get_basic_auth_pw and $r->connection->user methods return nothing when used inside a content handler like Mason. Is this normal? Does it only return something from an auth handler? TIA -- Louis-David Mitterrand - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.aparima.com
