I just got burned by this on my own site, losing a forum post that took
me a while to write. How hard would it be to fix this issue, it really

I would think the current post could be stuffed into the post_error.html
page (or its replacement) when it's generated, then carried across to
the login page, and then reposted, so it wouldn't require javascript at
all. I haven't thought about it too much, though.
It's just a terrible user exp

I've wondering if the additions to httpd 2.4 that support mod_auth_form

One specific part of that is "Inline Login with Body Preservation"

I wonder if I could do a cheesy workaround for my site that would use
javascript to hook the post button on the forum page, and then test for
