Okay, I found the last problem I was having with 401 redirects: the
header

HTTP/1.0 401 Authorization Required

needed to be

HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized

for Mosaic and Lynx to correctly parse it. Ugh!

I've modified B80_auth_redirect.txt to account for this.

Should we do an 0.6.2 before I announce it on www-talk?

You don't even want to know :) But if by chance you do:

hyperreal.com csp.org ultraviolet.com twitch.com sfraves.org hyperreal.org
zippy.org pcd.com squishy.com theb.org live105.com bong.com lodge.com
sushi.org rhythm.org dub.com schwa.org drseuss.com apache.org mail.apache.org
ambient.com nowhere.com

We used to have mcdonalds.com as well but Josh Quittner gave that back to
them....

The strings are user definable. See 6.2 of Roy's HTTP spec.

This is a major bug in Mosaic and Lynx.

Roy... go kick some ass :-)
