I'm a newbie to Apache, but I've written a script that already functions as an "authentication handler" when I point my browser directly to it. The problem was to get it invoked automatically before any other files. I was not expecting to write a module. Judging from that and from the technical detail you supplied, I don't think I should go there just yet. I have no idea what "session management" is. Where can I find info on that? >[Warning!
