If you want to directly send a file, use:
open(DATEI, ...)
$r->send_fd(DATEI)
close(DATEI)
You can do an internal redirect using subrequests, if you want. See
$r->lookup_uri().
But I'm not sure why you need to redirect just to authenticate. Can't
you just deny access if authentication fails, and allow it if it
succeeds?
