Argh, I wish I could always test every addition I have in the guide, some
code goes untested as it was posted to the mod_perl or contributed by
someone else. Then people come and use it, if something is wrong they send
me a patch I fix it. I guess this is a similar scenario -- I admit that
this code wasn't tested by me. If you find the problem and solve it,
please send me the patch, so everybody could benefit from it.
As for hints you want to read the Eagle book, I try hard not to duplicate
information in the book, but sometimes I do. The book covers extensively
the Authentication handler writing. You should start from the Basic one
that works for you and then move on and add the extra, more complicated
logic inside.
I'm looking forward for the patch :) Thanks a lot!
