Hi,
I'm using the http_authentication plugin, and everything's working fine in my development environment with webrick. However, when I run on my production platform of apache2+mod_fcgid, authenticate_or_request_with_http_basic() always returns false, and (more interestingly) never processes the block. See example below.
Here's my setup: * apache 2.0.55 * libapache2-mod-fcgid 1.07-1 * ruby 1.8.2-1 * libfcgi-ruby1.8 0.8.6-1 * rails 1.2.3 * http_authentication r6836 from http://svn.rubyonrails.org/rails/plugins (hasn't changed since 2006-12-02?)
For an example, in the following test code, the second debug message (with username and password) is never reached.
