Ah yes, that's built with the Webconverger branch of mine. Ignore it.
Use the git repo master branch.

Ignore.

I need to remind Marcus about that.

Not sure about BSD authentication, but HTTP auth does work. I've

Thanks for you interest in this. I am hoping to get this done by the
end of the year. If you want to move quicker, I'm happy to take
patches and offers of help, or give up the package to you if needs be.
It's an excellent httpd!
Kind regards,
