Eduardo, The part that seems to be really slow is how long it takes for the initial access, to the website, login window to come up with Auto plug-in loaded and being used (specified in the Monkey virtual host config file). What hardware were you doing your tests on? I am using a PogoPlug v4 which has a dual core 800MHz Marvel-kirkwood CPU with only 128MB RAM. I have installed on the Pogoplug v4 Arm Linux-Kirkwood 3.7.5, Monkey 1.1.1 and php. The Arm Linux being used is using systemd. With the Auth plug-in loaded and not being used (not specified in the Monkey virtual host config file) the response time of loading web pages is great. With the Auth plug-in loaded and being used (specified in the Monkey virtual host config file) the response time for loading web pages is noticeably slower. I am using a 2011 iMac running Mac OS X 10.8.2 for my client machine. I use the Safari web browser on the iMac. I do have cookies enabled for Safari and I would think that if the cookies were the issue I would see the login window pop-up on every sub-page that I visit on my website, which is no the case. My Pogoplug WebServer hard wired to a Airport Extreme base station. I have not configured any sort of proxy. Right now I have not opened any ports on the Airport Extreme. I am running access from the iMac to the Monkey server on the Pogoplug locally only using the IP address of the Pogoplug to access the Monkey server. The date/time is output on the Arm Linux is in military time for EST and seems to be correct. When the Pogoplug does boot the initial date is 1969 but the time does get sync'd correctly to the present date/time. When I access the Monkey Server the date/time appears to be correct. I have played around with which user to run the Monkey server under and it seems to make no difference whether I run it as root or as a non-root user. By the way, I do run Monkey server as a non-root user and ownership of the files for the website are the same as the user which the Monkey server is running under. I think I am going to put together a small test website and see if I can reproduce what I am seeing and do a screen capture.

Once a client face a basic auth request it sends the credential, then the server sets a special Cookie, so every time the client back to the server it sends the cookie and this last one is validated. The only way for the server to request the auth again is if your client did not send the auth again anymore. Some questions: - are you using some proxy reverse between your browser and the target board ? - If you look at the board OS, what time is it (# date) ? regards, On Mon, Feb 4, 2013 at 10:24 AM, Michael and Denise Winestock <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Eduaro, > >The relative URL addresses that I am trying: > > > - protection is applied on http://something.com/ > - the videos are located at >http://something.com/Welcome/someone/mediafiles/vidoes > >Keep in mind that when I visit >http://something.com/Welcome/someone/mediafiles/pictures which has pictures in >it, no login window pops up. > >Thanks, > >Michael > >From: Eduardo Silva <[email protected]> >To: Michael and Denise Winestock <[email protected]> >Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> >Sent: Monday, February 4, 2013 11:18 AM >Subject: Re: [Monkey] Auth plug-in for Monkey v1.1.1 > > > >Hi Michael, > >please find my answer between lines: > > >On Mon, Feb 4, 2013 at 10:11 AM, Michael and Denise Winestock ><[email protected]> wrote: > >Hi, >> >>I am using Monkey HTTP v1.1.1 on Arm Linux-kirkwood 3.7.5.
