Let me re-state it, so that we can agree on that :) OP is trying to require basic authentication for /index.html. When requested directly, it works as expected - UA is prompted for auth, and Apache responds correctly. When requested as part of DirectoryIndex lookup, UA does not prompt for auth, and simply returns a 401 response. What is confusing me is that the UA should prompt for auth on receiving a 401 response, and then resubmit the request with basic auth tokens. If you start with a completely clean browser (it can be hard to clear basic auth credentials from a browser), do you have different behaviour when requesting '/'? Cheers Tom
We agree on the problem and on what we thought should happen. I do restart the browser for every test. I have tested it with Firefox and Chrome, same result.
Just to reiterate, I'm testing this on Ubuntu Linux 10.10 and apache 2.2.16 (Ubuntu). The only changes I've made to the configuration files are what I've posted.
I've googled around but I can't find anything similar. It's hard to believe that I'm the only one that's ever tried this :-).
