 This sucks.
 A number of checkins have gone under the radar in the last few months.
 
 Could the checkin lists be changed to allow non-member posts?
 Or, if that's too much filtering work because of spam, could the
 generated checkin message come from a fixed [EMAIL PROTECTED] email
 that would be subscribed to the list (but receive no mail)?

At least, you should receive a bounce message that you are not allowed
to post, but I don't remember getting any such messages...

I could be going senile of course...

 I don't think that's the case. I have a specific requirement on the
 project I'm currently working on to know who the current user is, even
 if the something is anonymously accessible.

So you *allow* authorization, and use it, but you don't *require* it.

 Perhaps userfolders should have the opportunity to do something as
 they're traversed through to authenticate, rather than waiting until
 something that requires authorisation kicks them off?

Sounds reasonable.

  Nope, not IE. Yes, that is non-standard.
 
 Are you sure? I'm pretty sure I remember the ZMI's logout link working
 in IE, and that relies on returning 401's...

Last time I checked it didn't work.

  But they do that so that if
  you click on something that you can NOT access, you can continue
  surfing without having to log in again. Which actually is pretty
  reasonable in a way.
 
 ...not if they don't also provide a method to consciously drop basic
 auth headers ;-)

Yet Another Crappy Standard.

 Well, I have to say I was really disappointed when I read the W3C specs
 for response codes. They freely interchange authentication and
 authorization, which are two totally different concepts :-(

Right.

 Supposedly you would not be able to access that part of the site until

Assuming it requires authentication, yes.
The main problem here is that Internet Explorer doesn't allow you to
log out, for example.

So, in principal, invalid credentials should raise an error, but in
practice, you can't do that if you use Simple HTTP authentication.
With other authentication schemes, where you can log out properly,
it's would be possible.
