Yep, you're right. But I'm sort of grasping at straws at this point.

Yes, but there are side effects:
1. When the access handler finds a URI that doesn't need authentication turned on:
# httpd.conf
<Location />
require jack handy
</Location>
# Access handler
return OK; # Since we don't care about the current URI.
# Error log
Some::handler(): Starting in [PerlAccessHandler].
Some::handler(): This uri [/one/onezie.fil] not under access control, returning OK.
configuration error: couldn't perform authentication. AuthType \
not set!: /one/onezie.fil
Although on areas where authentication is desired, this method works fine. We just
have to set r->auth_type and r->auth_name before returning from access control.
2. I don't want to have to add several lines to each <VirtualHost> that I use this
code in. Instead, we add a single handler at the URI Translation phase and let it
set up the rest of the handlers for the request. Actually, we already have a
system doing this and are very happy with the results. This Authen handler is just
intended to be an add-on to that.

Ah, you're right. Thank you. Unfortunately, this is read-only.
