I recently downloaded the CERN httpd Linux binary.

When enabling the security username/password option, I noted that
when an erroneous username or password is entered, the following
message appears:

ERROR 401
Unauthorized to access the document
CERN httpd 3.0 (this is a hotlink to CERN )

How can the reference to CERN be eliminated.

If possible, an email to

Thank you
Ken

Yep. You will have to edit the file HTDaemon.c (under /Daemon/Implementation).
The references are made at about lines 1019 and 1167.

If you're tricky you could replace it with code to read from a file so you
don't have to recompile it everytime you want to change the error message.

Just thought I'd post it here for the benefit of everyone.

Some new servers allows you to say what will appear when and error occurs.
If this feature isn't included in CERN httpd, the only soution will be
remove line with this message from source code of server, recompile and run.
