Problems with HEAD and .htaccess-files

Hi!
I've got a problem with HEAD (lwp-request) that also affects other
software based on LWP, such as checkbot 1.50 and checklinks 1.0.
If I do HEAD correct-url I'll get:
403 Forbidden
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 1997 07:04:35 +0000
Server: Roxen Challenger/1.1
Content-Length: 63
Content-Type: text/html
Client-Date: Thu, 17 Jul 1997 06:04:35 GMT
If I remove the .htaccess-file I'll get:
200 OK
Date: Thu, 17 Jul 1997 07:18:54 +0000
Server: Roxen Challenger/1.1
Content-Length: 5821
Content-Type: text/html
Last-Modified: Wed, 09 Jul 1997 14:54:12 +0000
Client-Date: Thu, 17 Jul 1997 06:18:54 GMT
And the .htaccess-file looks like this:
# -FrontPage-
IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
<Limit GET>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit POST PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName external_organisation
AuthUserFile
/usr/apache/htdocs/external_organisation/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile
/usr/apache/htdocs/external_organisation/_vti_pvt/service.grp
It's generated by Frontpage so I don't know if the syntax is valid, but
an ordinary browser doesn't have any problems with accessing the
directorys that HEAD can't.
Is this a problem with LWP? Or our webserver?
I'm using libwww-perl 5.10 with Perl 5.003 on a Solaris 2.5.1 SS10. And
Roxen Challenger 1.1 as webserver (with Apache 1.1 for Frontpage
Extensions).
Thanx /Martin
