We have two apache webservers running release 2.0.57
On one of them, if we ask for a non-existent script from a protected directory we get the 404 Not Found response without a prompt for username and password.
On the other one, we get prompted for username and password and when we get those right we get the 404 Not Found response.

The behaviour of the first server seems wrong, but why is it checking for "Not Found" before "Not Authorised"?
