[wp-hackers] HTTP Auth/URL Rewriting

[Alex King]

PHP as a CGI (in the default configuration) is a problem for 401 auth  
with PHP. The 401 auth information doesn't get passed to the PHP  
runtime. There are work-arounds for this, I believe the TextDrive  
guys have something cooked up for it, but they are server  
configuration solutions (not something WP can implement).

Cheers,
