Sebb commented on WHIMSY-269:
-----------------------------
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).
> 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
