Greetings, Ive written a module to hanlde error messages, it works fine except when its used to handle a top level authentication.. and then it doesnt display the page. for example if the protected url was http://www.site.com/ the user would be redirected to http://www.site.com/error/401 for the error message.. and because its protected wouldnt display the custom error page instead displaying the following error "Additionally, a 401 Authorization Required error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.". Which i can understand. Im wondering if there is anyway around this thou? DJ
