RE: Help writting a module for Apache.
The script is inside a password protected directory, so if I can access the
script, it means I sent a correct username and password (right?). The
"AUTHORIZATION" key inside %ENV doesn't exist.. There is a
$ENV{'AUTH_TYPE'}, it contains "basic".. I tested it on apache 1.3.6 and
1.3.3..

RE: Help writting a module for Apache.
Then you haven't gotten a username and password back, you should get
basic authinfo
Where authinfo is a b64 encoded string that is
username:password

RE: Help writting a module for Apache.
Are you sure? I tryed $ENV{AUTHORIZATION} in normal cgi scripts and in
Apache::Registry and the variable is empty..
How do I use that module?

RE: Help writting a module for Apache.
Apache::Authen?
As for your method, 401 username password stuff is always accessible via:
$ENV{AUTHORIZATION}

Help writting a module for Apache.
Hi.. I need Apache to do this: always ask for basic authentication, and then accept any conbination of username/password as correct, and set an enviroment variable with the password sent on the request, so I can retrieve that on a CGI script, and do the real authentication there. I couldn't find a way to do that with the 'standard' apache modules, so I have to write one, and I have some questions: - is that any module that alredy does that? :) - Can anyone point me to a "real life" example, or guide, on how to write and install a module using mod_perl? I use perl a lot, but I could find "easy" documentation on how to write modules (I don't want to read a _huge_ man page for this simple task) Can anyone help? Thanks!! Bye.. Ariel.
