[Catalyst] Authorization header and fastcgi

[Ian Docherty]

Mark.
I was not looking at $c->engine->env, but now that I am, there is no 
Authorization or HTTP_AUTHORIZATION there either.

I have decided to side-step this issue and create an 'Authentication' 
header rather than an 'Authorization' header and to hell with the 
'standard'.

(Besides the 'standard' is badly named anyway!)

Thanks everyone for help with this matter.

Regards
Ian
