those are the two default values handled by the included httpd authentication handlers. you can absolutely define any AuthType you want if you intend on writing a new, fully implemented authen handler in mod_perl - httpd will only balk if you don't write the handler properly and control ends up being passed to httpd proper (the mod_perl authen handler will supersede httpd). > From my apache/mp novice perspective it looks as though > access.t really should also fail for mp vs 2.2.6 since 'none' does not > appear to a legal AuthType. nope, this definitely works on 2.2.6. something in trunk must have changed that removes capabilities provided since 1.3. > > Anyway - should access.t & t/conf/httpd.conf in the mod_perl trunk be > changed? I am quite happy to do this. I don't think it's that simple. first, this is httpd-trunk - we ought to figure out whether this change is intended, part of a work in progress, or just a mistake. after that we can figure out how to handle it. --Geoff
