[users@httpd] Problem with Files and Auth?
I'm trying to use the Files directive to force auth for the index.html
file and I'm getting the following error message if I don't specify the
file name in the request. If I do it works fine.
Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the
document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad
password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the
credentials required.
No username/password dialog is presented with this error, just the error.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

So why does the browser understand when I ask for the file explicitly
but not when I allow apache to pick the file to be returned?
I looked for browser bugs and similar difficulties but I've not been
able to find any.

Your browser does not understand how to supply the credentials required.

We agree on the problem and on what we thought should happen. I do
restart the browser for every test. I have tested it with Firefox and
Chrome, same result.
Just to reiterate, I'm testing this on Ubuntu Linux 10.10 and apache
2.2.16 (Ubuntu). The only changes I've made to the configuration files
are what I've posted.
I've googled around but I can't find anything similar. It's hard to
believe that I'm the only one that's ever tried this :-).
Thanks,

Sorry, I think I misunderstood your problem. Let me re-state it, so
that we can agree on that :)
OP is trying to require basic authentication for /index.html. When
requested directly, it works as expected - UA is prompted for auth,
and Apache responds correctly. When requested as part of
DirectoryIndex lookup, UA does not prompt for auth, and simply returns
a 401 response.
What is confusing me is that the UA should prompt for auth on
receiving a 401 response, and then resubmit the request with basic
auth tokens. If you start with a completely clean browser (it can be
hard to clear basic auth credentials from a browser), do you have
different behaviour when requesting '/'?
Cheers
Tom

I tried setting the LogLevel to debug to see if there were more error
message but I get the same.
