Add some debugging to the handler to ensure that the client is sending
the WWW-Authenticate header to both /footer and /footer/. The
browser sees them as different locations (the first is a file named
footer, the second is a directory name footer), and possibly doesn't
consider the first to be within the auth realm for which it has a
username/password.
Apache's mod_dir usually Does The Right Thing here, when given the
chance; are you using a perl-handler on Location /?
