You wouldn't believe the problems I've had with AccessHandlers... Although saying that I was trying to do a set_handlers for the contentphase... which was being completely ignored by apache...
I'll have a think about it... But the idea is to make the authentication be completely invisible to the users page request.. so if their login times out, and they've just submitted a post to a message board, we want to preserve their post throughout the authentication and then when they're authenticated, have the post occur and the user never have the authentication process appear in their browser history...
