Re: Why is authorization=null? Esp. to Twylite

[TWR - Hauptuser <TW...@t-online.de>]

Hi,

thank you for the information about authorization header, form based login 
and POST method. So the authorization in the HTTP header isn't filled. 
However I ask myself from where the getRemoteUser and getAuthtype - Methode 
get the information because these methods do work and I get the correct 
username and auth form.

Can anyone explain that??

Best thanks

Thomas
