double prompting basic auth

[dingleberry]

Hey,

I'm using basic authentication to access a directory on my bsd server. At any rate, the url for the directory is

http://www.iculus.com/studiocentral

now if I type that in the way it is above with no / at the end, I get prompted twice for username and password. With the / at the end, I get prompted once. I've looked through the history logs, and found this to be an issue of some concern for most people, but no one has offered a fix in httpd.conf for the way the directory is set up. very strange. Anybody know the actual syntax to

<Directory &quot;/home/iculus/public_html/home/studiocentral&quot;>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

to prevent this from happening regardless of /?

Thanks,
dingle

Hi mate,

If this bothers you then use a re-write rule to add the slah to the url.

Hope this helps Wullie
