Hi All
Thank you for great software and a great community!
I am working on a small htauth-controller.
The below simple code is placed in one of my controllers.
The following code works...:
Code:
public function authenticate()
{
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm"');
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Text to send if user hits Cancel button';
exit;
} else {
echo $this->input->server('PHP_AUTH_USER', True)."\n";
echo $this->input->server('PHP_AUTH_PW', True)."\n";
}
}...And correctly returns:
mortenlp
testP4sw0rd
However the following code:
Code:
public function authenticate()
{
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'])) {
//header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="My Realm"');
//header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Text to send if user hits Cancel button';
exit;
} else {
echo $this->input->server('PHP_AUTH_USER', True)."\n";
echo $this->input->server('PHP_AUTH_PW', True)."\n";
}
}"Text to send if user hits Cancel button"
The requests are exactly identical.
Do you know what this might be caused by?
Best wishes
