You can't do all that within a single HTTP request. What you need to do is check if the person is authorized already (usually through a cookie), and if not, redirect them to your captcha application. When they pass the captcha, you give them a cookie that identifies them, and that cookie allows them in to the protected area. Rather than write this all yourself, I suggest you subclass Apache::AuthTicket. - Perrin > > -- > -Aaron Collins > Systems Engineer/ Release Engineer > Hawaii Information Consortium > 220 S.
