Sam Ruby commented on WHIMSY-269:
---------------------------------

ENV (and _.params, etc) show request headers, not response headers.  The CGI 
itself produces the response.

Probably the easiest way to get the response headers from within a 404.cgi 
script is to have that script issue another network request without credentials 
and to parse the response.

> 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
