This is an elaboration of bug #1820 with enough info to hopefully allow it to be fixed.

With apache, setting an ErrorDocument for 401 Auth Required to be a php file causes a status of 200 to be returned to the client instead of the correct status of 401.

This totally screws up password-protected websites!

Workaround is to manually set the 401 header with the header function.

Apache manual says:

If the ErrorDocument specifies a local redirect to a CGI script, the script should include a "Status:" header field in its output in order to ensure the
propagation all the way back to the client of the error condition that caused it to be invoked.
