Hello!

I'm trying to add some HTTP Basic authentication to my Restlet code, which
runs under Tomcat and uses ServerServlet with a target of a custom
Container.

I was able to successfully add authentication support when I was using a
previous Restlet release (unfortunately, I forget which one), but, now, my
clients don't seem to be getting a WWW-Authenticate header, even though
I've walked through the appropriate Restlet code in the debugger and it
*appears* to be setting said header. (I've tried using both my custom
GuardFilter subclass and GuardFilter directly, with identical results.)

The end result is that, for example, Firefox will simply display a status
page saying, "HTTP Status 401 - The request requires user authentication"
without ever displaying an authentication dialog.

Has anyone else run across this? If there's a simple solution, I'd
obviously prefer that rather than more hours of in-depth debugging :-)

(As a side note: is there a convenient way to get debugging information
from the Restlet libraries, short of compiling them myself? It would
really help in situations like this!)

Thanks,
Evan
