the auth phases are RUN_FIRST now for a reason, specifically because modules like AuthenCache needed to jump through hoops to work around the fact that mp1 was RUN_ALL when it shouldn't have been. there's lots of code in AuthenCache that tries to remove authen handlers later in the handler stack precisely because returning OK does not properly terminate the authentication chain. thus AuthenCache (and others that relied on the incorrect RUN_ALL meme in authentication and translation) will need to be rewritten. I'm really sorry about that, but mp2 finally gets it right, which is better for everyone in the long run. in particular it should make the logic in AuthenCache that much simpler :) --Geoff -- Report problems: http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ Mail list info: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/modperl.html List etiquette: http://perl.apache.org/maillist/email-etiquette.html
