Has the header problem with FCGI Authenticators been solved?  When a user hits 
"cancel", the following items are returned:

 the headers sent by the authenticator program
 the blank line sent by the authenticator to indicate the end of the headers
 any content returned by the authenticator
 the headers sent by the web server for a status 403 document
 the blank line sent by the web server
 the error page content sent by the web server

The extra headers really mess the page, as noted below.  Is there a fix or a 
work-around for this behavior?

I have written an authenticator fast cgi script which works mostly with 
the exception of when the user clicks on the cancel box. Ideally, I would 
like it to simply give the stock Forbidden message:

Forbidden

You do not have permission to get the requested object.

but instead I get a full line of headers at the top of the page, ie:

|START

HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden Date: Tuesday, 29-oct-96 14:34:00 GMT Server:
Open-Market-Secure-WebServer/2.0.5.RC0 MIME-version: 1.0 Security-Scheme: 
S-HTTP/1.1
Content-type: text/html 

Forbidden

You do not have permission to get the requested object.
