On the apache httpd website http://httpd.apache.org you'll find instructions how to file a bug. I have verified it without mod_perl with apache 2.2.9: DirectoryIndex index.shtml Options Includes Indexes AddType text/html .shtml AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .shtml <Location /index.shtml> Require valid-user AuthType basic AuthName "Something very secret" AuthUserFile /path/to/htpasswd </Location> My index.shtml reads: <html> <body> <h1>Hello <!--#echo var="REMOTE_USER" --></h1> <pre> <!--#printenv --> </pre> </body> </html> If /index.shtml is requested all works normal. If only / is requested I get the password prompt. Then it shows the page but the REMOTE_USER variable is unset. This variable is r->user. File the bug then send its number to the list. I'll fill in the details. In your bug description you can reference this thread: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/modperl/modperl/97533 Torsten -- Need professional mod_perl support?
