           Summary: Custom error page for error code 401 ignored in Tomcat
                    5.5.x
           Product: Tomcat 5
           Version: 5.5.9
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Connector:HTTP
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: bjarnij-apachebug@bthj.is


In Tomcat 4 and 5.0.x it was possible to have a custom error page for error code
401. But only when using a workaround the was user prompted to login.  The
workaround was to add code similar to this to the custom error page:
<%
	response.setStatus(response.SC_UNAUTHORIZED);
	response.setHeader("WWW-Authenticate", "BASIC realm=\"asdf\""); 
%>
Tomcat 5.5.x on the other hand seems to completely ignore custom error pages for
error code 401 - although error pages for other error codes seem to work fine.
This must be a bug?

I'm using BASIC authentication and I'm unable to give webusers "pretty" message
when they fail to login...
