PHP4 CGI and HTTP Authorization support
Hi!
I got php to work as cgi with suexec. Everything works nicely for me
except for one thing: for HTTP Basic authorization (for example as
enforced by .htaccess), the authorization data from the browser is not
passed to the PHP script.
After some investigation done bycomparing phpinfo() output in different
environments (mod_php / php-cgi x with auth / without auth) I came to
the following main conclusion:
The CGI PHP interpreter does not receive the "Authorization" header (as
listed in the "HTTP Headers Information" section of phpinfo() output).
The header itself is passed from the browser to the web server, because
apache does allow access to the page.
I suspect that the consequence of this is that the
_SERVER["PHP_AUTH_USER"] and _SERVER["PHP_AUTH_PW"] PHP variables are
not set.
The question is: has anyone worked this around? Or do I need to dig in
the apache and/or php code to make them pass the authorization
information in some custom environment variable?
regards,
Marcin
