Hi Robert, thanks for your help.
The problem I have is: host a couchapp in a password protected DB.
This is why I need authentication_redirect.
If I understand it correctly, the logic is:
- if the client accepts "text/html", then respond with "302";
- if not, then respond with "401".
What is the difference between
Accept: text/html,*/*;q=0.0
and
Accept: text/html,*/*;q=0.1
?
I think they should be treated the same way in this use-case.
What am I missing?
thanks,
Marcello
