State-Changed-Why:
In Apache 1.3 you can cause the Authorization or
Proxy-Authorization header field values to be available to
script by recompiling the server after adding
"-DSECURITY_HOLE_PASS_AUTHORIZATION" to the EXTRA_CCFLAGS
defined in src/Configuration.  This is not enabled by
default for obvious reasons.  Thanks for using Apache!
