Using CGIWRAP and Password Protection.
Ok, I need to protect the fileman.cgi script with a username and password (using htaccess) but the cgi script NEEDS to use cgiwrap (so the files arn't written as username:nobody).

I have a password protected folder in my cgi-bin, and when I access it normally,
http://louish.com/cgi-bin/secure/formmail.pl
A password dialog box appears, and everything is cool.

PROBLEM:
When I access the same script.cgi using cgiwrap, I dont get the password
dialig box.
http://louish.com/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/ramnet/secure/formmail.pl

Now I dont know if Im doing something wrong, or what. But if this is a
bug... thats scarry, cause anyone who knew your username could bypass a
password dialog box by using cgiwrap. (figuring the password protection is
their cgi folder.


If anyone knows a solution around this problem, please let me know. THANKS!!
