THanks for any pointers, Can you set up a custom error document handler and redirect to that, rather than using your OnDeny? Return something like 409 ("Conflict"), and Apache will do an internal redirect, from which you can get the requesting URI in the same way that you can in other redirects. Actually, how is the require handled? What does your auth handler return if the user is not subscribed? Can/does your handler do an internal redirect? (darren) -- Small pleasures exclude great ones.
