I wouldn't post this here but I guess others will find this problem in
front of them.
I've set up a symfony2 installation that supports http_basic
authentication by using an entity from my database. It works well with
my local installation (vanilla osx 10.6.7/apache 2.2.17) but when I
pushed the project on my shared hosting provider (dreamhost) I got
reauthentication requests (error 401) although I did provide the
correct credentials.
After a bit of googling around I found out that fast_cgi is stripping
authentication headers on purpose and that I should add
[E=X-HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},QSA,L]
on my .htaccess file, which I did but it didn't work. On an other
google search someone posted I should try
[E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},QSA,L]
but this didn't do the trick either. So I decided to use the control
panel provided by dreamhost itself and disable the fast_cgi and use
the simple cgi support. I tried the same flags once more but I still
don't get to pass the authentication step.
Anyone had the same issue and found a solution?
