Hello list, I thought I'd let you know, what I found out so far. Perhaps someone will have an idea what is going on.
In the access checking phase started by this line ap_hook_access_checker(SumpfAuthChecker, NULL, NULL, APR_HOOK_FIRST); I return with a "return(HTTP_MOVED_TEMPORARILY)". I have set up the new location to go to by setting the apropriate headers with apr_table_set( r->headers_out, "Location", newlocation ); Instead of sending back to the client a 302 or a 301 the next thing that happens the apache sends back a 401. (Found out with ngrep). So this results in prompting the user for a password. It seems the "Basic Authentication" code or anything else it doing something after I finished in the access checking phase. I tried to find out with "LogLevel debug". But this actually leads to nearly no extra lines in the logfiles. I have configured it in the global configuration and in the VirtualHost section. Well for the moment I'm stuck. Hope somebody has an idea .... Greetings -- Christoph Gröver
