Apache Experience Needed..

[Eric Maino <eimaino@xxxxxxx>]

I am sending out an e-mail to the list to see if any one has any great 
Apache experience.  I am working on a PHP project that will authenticate a 
user not only to the PHP documents but also to the Apache Server it self. I 
have been looking into the Apache source code trying to find how it 
interprets the WWW-Authenticate: Basic header so I can find a way to pass 
it variables. I know that the basic concept is that when a browser goes to 
a restricted site Apache sends a 401 request to the client as well as basic 
auth, if the browser has any thing it sends another header back with it's 
current stored username and password and wa la we are in. So basically I 
need to find a way to get the browser to store the header or a way to send 
Apache the first header and it will lace the browser with the rest. If any 
one wants to help out that would be great or if you have a solution please 
feel free to e-mail me. I am also debating rewriting that Apache mod_auth 
right now. Just let me know.
