I'm trying to use the Files directive to force auth for the index.html file
and I'm getting the following error message if I don't specify the file name
in the request.  If I do it works fine.

Authorization Required

This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document
requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password),
or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required.

No username/password dialog is presented with this error, just the error.

Any ideas?

Config and logs or it never happened.
