[jira] [Comment Edited] (WHIMSY-269) When auth is not granted, show more info

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIMSY-269?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16851653#comment-16851653 ]

------------------------------------------------------

Rather than respond with a 401, could perhaps display details of the requirements and the current karma (if any).
Include a link to a separate page which allows the user to log in. (not tested).
[This is similar to the approach taken by PonyMail!]

> Unfortunately the authentication realm is not always shown by browsers (I think only Firefox shows it).
> It would be useful if more info could be given when auth fails, e.g. show the persons auth status and ideally list the auth required for the page
