remote_user and remote_password for custom http authentication?

[Jed Schmidt]

Manilo,

Thanks for that reference. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but when I
access a URL in the $user:$password at domain.com/ format, and then try
to access the $http_authorization variable in an SSI or in a rewrite
rule, it returns nothing. In other words, let's say I have the
following rule:

location = /auth {
	rewrite		(.*)	http://google.com/search?q=$http_authorization;
}

and then access http://user:pass@domain.com/auth. If the username and
password were accessible, wouldn't I be forwarded to
http://google.com/search?q=user:pass? Right now I'm being forwarded to
http://google.com/search?q= instead.

Thanks again for your help,

Jed
