Tom Neff asks:

    Has anyone else had problems with Fast-CGI authorization of pages when
    viewed from AOL?  I have out-to-lunch problems using AOL 2.0 and AOL 3.0
    both.  Any wisdom would be appreciated.

What HTTP authentication scheme is the FastCGI Authorizer using?

There should be no way for a browser to tell the difference between
using a FastCGI authorizer to do (for instance) basic auth and using
the server's RequirePassword region command to do basic auth
with a name-password file lookup.  Same for any other auth scheme.
