we could resolve this by having the user's browser to the check instead of the server. basically, use an <img> tag to do the test and instead of just returning 200 in the response the server sets a variable indicating that clean url is OK. so on the first view of admin/settings, everyone sees disabled ... this is just one of many possible solutions. i do think the core need for httpAuth is for the browser to do the test, not the server. -moshe On Mar 20, 2005, at 7:28 AM, Tim Altman wrote:

something that can be done to make the test work behind HTTP auth?
Basically, you need to exclude system/test from the auth.
I can get around the problem quite easily, but I'm concerned about others that run into the same problem. Do we need to add documentation about it somewhere or can we find a way to make this work out of the box? The problem will occur with any drupal_http_request() call to the site.
