Hi guys, My httpd version is: # rpm -qa| grep httpd httpd-manual-2.0.54-10.2 httpd-2.0.54-10.2 Basic auth works great if the web client is IE, Firefox, etc but when the pages, protected by basic auth, can be printed by a simple perl script. I am not sure if this is expected or not. Basic auth is configured in httpd.conf as follows (there is no .htaccess file) #################### begin #################### <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx DocumentRoot /usr/share/awstats/wwwroot ServerName awstats.mydomain.com ErrorLog logs/error_log CustomLog logs/access_log combined <Directory "/usr/share/awstats/wwwroot"> AuthType Basic AuthName "Operator Login" AuthUserFile /var/www/passwd/passwords Require valid-user </Directory> </VirtualHost> #################### end ##################### With a perl script using LWP::UserAgent, the response of get(url) function just prints the basic auth protected web page without suppling username and password. Please advice. Regards. __________________________________________ Yahoo! DSL ? Something to write home about.
