[users@httpd] HTTP_AUTHORIZATION + CGI

[vincent besson <vi...@mbesson.com>]

Hello,

 

I try to make the basic auth working with apache 1.3 for WIN32

 

 

But my cgi never getenv the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION env var

 

Could some one tell me what is wrong 

 

Do i have to change -D compillation var such as SEC HOLE ?

Is there an another way ?

 

Thanks 

Vincent

Although I recognize that variable, I don't recall exactly what it is for.
Hmm, it would be the content of the Authorization header in the request? I
don't think it passed as an environment variable for security reasons (its
value includes the password).

However, you should find these environment vars available:

    REMOTE_USER  --  authenticated user name
    AUTH_TYPE  --  type of auth; "Basic" in your case
