Shane Curcuru commented on WHIMSY-269:
--------------------------------------

hmmm... maybe not. Local testing shows that a 401.cgi script can't (apparently) 
see the auth header response:

{{Www-Authenticate: Basic realm="ASF Members and Officers"}}

It doesn't show up in ENV nor in _.params or other CGI methods you can call 
there from wunderbar.

I've added 404.cgi, which at least shows the path, but I'm stuck on adding the 
realm to display in a 401.cgi

> When auth is not granted, show more info

> 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
