Description Simone Milani 2002-08-30 15:55:37 UTC 
When a web app contains an error page for code 401 like
<error-page> 
  <error-code>401</error-code> 
  <location>/401.html</location> 
</error-page>
The header WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Protected Area name"
is not sent causing HTTP/1.1 agents not to pop the login box.

Marking as INVALID in order to close this very old and unconfirmed bug.

In case this is still a matter of concern, please try on the latest stable
Tomcat, and ask your query on the tomcat-user list where you're more likely to
receive responses from long time users.
