Synopsis: HTTP authentication variables not propogated to Action scripts

State-Changed-From-To: open-analyzed
State-Changed-By: trawick
State-Changed-When: Mon Mar 11 09:33:22 PST 2002
State-Changed-Why:
A bit of progress on this PR:

In Apache 1.3, ap_add_common_vars() sets REMOTE_USER and AUTH_TYPE from c->user and c->ap_auth_type, whereas
in Apache 2.0, ap_add_common_vars() sets REMOTE_USER and
AUTH_TYPE from r->user and r->ap_auth_type.
But mod_actions runs the script as a subrequest, and 
r->user and r->ap_auth_type aren't set there.

Hopefully this can get resolved in the next few days.

Thanks for your report.
