I have the exact same problem. I want my AuthenHandler to decide if the user is prompted for a password. Unfortunately "the book" tells me: "By the time the handler is called, Apache will have done most of the work in negotiating the HTTP Basic authentication protocol. It will have alerted the browser that authentication is required to access the page, and the browser will have prompted the user to enter his name and password." Has anybody got an idea how to let a handler decide, if autthen. is required?
