------- Additional Comments From ms419@freezone.co.uk  2006-03-16 19:48 -------
This is a problem with any resource where Apache is configured to use a handler
or interpreter. Apache is configured to use a handler with 'Action my-handler
/path/handlercgi' & 'AddHandler my-handler foo' or 'SetHandler my-handler'. This
is not a problem only with PHP

Authentication defined on the *handler* (/path/handlercgi) using AuthType is
described by AUTH_TYPE & REMOTE_USER environment variables

Authentication defined on the *actual resource* using AuthType is described by
REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER - but there is no REDIRECT_AUTH_TYPE environment variable!

I just encountered this problem yet again, trying to determine the AUTH_TYPE in
Moin where the Moin CGI is handled by CGIWrap

Authentication defined on CGIWrap is described by AUTH_TYPE & REMOTE_USER,
authentication defined on the Moin CGI is described by REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER -
but since there is no REDIRECT_AUTH_TYPE, it is impossible for Moin to tell what
AUTH_TYPE was defined on the actual Moin CGI

Thanks again - Jack
