This is a very annoying thing for in some cases a 403 is a required behavior. 

If you look at it, there is no real true reason for hardcoding a 401 or a 403
response. Why not make the thing configurable instead ? A AuthzFailedReturnCode
directory/location/server setting defaulting to 401 but allowing to return a
403 if required.
