[Catalyst] Authorization header and fastcgi

[hkclark at gmail.com]

Hi,

I have been having a heck of a time trying to get the Authorization
header pass through when using mod_fastcgi on Debian 5.  Does anyone
have any additional information on this one?

I have tried the mod_rewrite steps suggested in this thread and here:

http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Catalyst::Engine::FastCGI#Authorization_header_with_mod_fastcgi_or_mod_cgi

As well as every variation conceivable for the "-pass-header
Authorization" parameter to FastCgiServer and FastCgiExternalServer.
No luck.

Any comments and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Kennedy
