Authentication

Hi Tomcatters,

1) When using <auth-method>FORM with TC 3.2 beta 7 you can specify an error
page - which is nice.
Is it possible to do the same thing for <auth-method>BASIC ? Failed BASIC
auth results in a blank page - not great.

2) Using TC TC 3.2 beta 7 I can get <auth-method>BASIC to work fine -
protecting a whole app.
I tried shifting to <auth-method>FORM & odd things happened. The website is
found OK but it TC seems
to go into some kind of redirection loop - the browser status message
flickers rapidly between
"Website found, waiting for reply"
and
"Redirecting to: http://localhost:8080/myapp/login/login.jsp"

I know everyone's really busy but - any ideas?
