I'm guessing you are talking about Basic Authentication here. A
.htaccess file can contain pretty much any Apache directive, so it
could be configured to use a Perl script for authentication (which
would be more on topic for this list).
I may have to go this route. Apparently Internet Explorer does not
submit this string in a way the server understands:
http://Moe:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/members/index.html
Here's what's in the .htaccess file
===========================================
AuthUserFile /home/users/members/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Members"
<LIMIT GET POST>
require valid-user
</LIMIT>
===========================================
How do I point this at a perl cgi script to process the logon?
