In a Perl CGI program I wish to access the "Authorization: xxx" HTTP
header. But this value is never set as an environment variable. What
gives? I'm using Perl 5 with LWP on NT and using Netscape Fasttrack
2.01.
Here are the details:
1. User accesses a protected HTML file with a link to the Perl CGI.
2. Server returns 401 code, plus WWW-Authenticate;
3. Browser displays the login/password dialog. User enters the data and
gains access to the HTML page and clicks on the link that runs the Perl
CGI.
4. I print all of the %ENV, but "Authorization" is not one one them.
REMOTE_USER does get set, but I need access to the password too. HOW DO
I DO THIS?
Thank you...sj
