The problem is sys admins who don't know what they are doing as far as administering Apache. I used to work in a corporate environment where they allowed everyone a ~username directory for placing stuff. As they wanted to allow people to setup certain type of scripts in their directory, they allow

This core directive would be used to modify the processing of ap_add_common_vars() to pass through Authorization or Proxy-Authorization as HTTP_foo. (Nothing else is currently blocked, so any other header name wouldn't make sense.) This directive would be configurable at the directory level, but
