Good idea, hatter. But how would you do that? How would you force a 401? Can you do it by writing to the HTTP header directly? I'd love to see some code.

    With CGI.pm, you ought to be able to do something like this untested code:

    use CGI
$q = new CGI;
print $q->header(-status=>'401 Authorization required');
# add code here to print the rest of the error document

    A link like this might do the job:
