Hi,

I've never tried requiring authentication via a header (only through 
httpd.conf or .htaccess), but here's my best guess:

You're telling it what type of authentication to do, and you're telling 
it what realm to authenticate to, but:

- You're not telling it what to require, and you're not telling it where 
to find that info.

For example, with the httpd.conf format, you would have something like:

        <Directory "/var/www/htdocs/foo">
            AuthType Basic
            AuthName "My Realm"
            AuthUserFile /var/www/auth/htpasswd
            require valid-user
        </Directory>

Any reason you're not using .htaccess?
