This sounds like you're still using an older version of Tomcat -- the switch to
EXPERIMENTAL_FORM was very recent, and it sounds like your version isn't
recognizing this. One thing that has caught me a couple of times: if you
have TOMCAT_HOME defined and pointing at an old version, the old version will
be run even if you're in the distribution directory of the new version.
Note 1: BASIC authentication was broken in older versions of Tomcat as well.
You've got to have at least the 3.1rc1 candidate to have a chance of this
working.
Note 2: the 3.1rc1 release still has the bug related to not supporting BASIC
authentication on IE. I checked in a patch last night that should make it
work correctly.

Once you have identified something that doesn't work (preferably with a
repeatable test case or just "here's what I did to cause the problem with
the out-of-the-box distribution", then that's definitely the thing to do.
