Hi all. I'm using the xitami web server (under Win 95). When i'm in Internet Explorer, the program (demo) don't ask me about login and password, and nothing works. In my website (http://www.sosite.com/cgi-local/db.cgi) all works fine. What can i do?
Sorry, again, my poor english!!!

I use Xitami on my home computer, too, so this is one of the few server issues I can write about a little bit.

In auth.pl, find the line that says

my ($server_auth) = $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} | | $ENV{'AUTH_USER'};

Put a # before it, so it looks like

# my ($server_auth) = $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} | | $ENV{'AUTH_USER'};

Further down in the same file, under
sub auth_check_permissions, you'll see the following lines

if ($ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} | | $ENV{'AUTH_USER'}) {
$username = $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} | | $ENV{'AUTH_USER'};
}
else {
($userid =~ /^([A-Za-z0-9]+)\.\d+$/) ? ($username = $1) : return (0,0,0,0,0);
}


Put # characters in front of the lines so it looks like

# if ($ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} | | $ENV{'AUTH_USER'}) {
# $username = $ENV{'REMOTE_USER'} | | $ENV{'AUTH_USER'};
# }
# else {
($userid =~ /^([A-Za-z0-9]+)\.\d+$/) ? ($username = $1) : return (0,0,0,0,0);
# }


In other words, leave only the line that starts with

($userid =~

That should work for you.
