Very Computer

Hi,
        I am running Apache 1.2.5 on Solaris 2.5.1. I've seen threads
on this with no conclusive methods on how to do it and I hit a site
the other day (http://www.nwfusion.com/forum/merger), that sent me to
a different page when I hit the Cancel button on the basic authentication
popup window. Can someone tell me how this is done? I've looked at the
ErrorDocument directive, as was mentioned in one of the threads, but
can't get it to act in this manner. A snoop shows the next thing from
the server after I get the auth popup is a "302 Moved temporarily" but
I can't get Apache to return this, but then I'm not sure ErrorDocument
is triggered by a cancel button. Thanks.

For example, try going to http://www.lerdorf.on.ca/cancel.html

There is no possibility of actually getting a real login to go through
there because there are no valid users.  But if you hit cancel, or try
three times (or however many times your browser will let you keep trying)
then you will eventually be redirected to yahoo.

This is done by the following bit of PHP3 code which emulates an
Apache authentication module:

<?
    if(!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {
        Header("WWW-authenticate: basic realm=\"Test\"");
        Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
        ?>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.yahoo.com">
        <?
        exit;
    } else {
        $user_id=strtolower($PHP_AUTH_USER);
        $password=$PHP_AUTH_PW;
        /* You would check $user_id and $password here */
        Header("WWW-authenticate: basic realm=\"Test\"");
        Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
        ?>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.yahoo.com">
        <?
        exit;
    }
?>
