Basic HTTP Authentication & PHP-FastCGI

[Igor Clark]

I think this might be a suitable application for a FastCGI Authorizer,  
but I don't think nginx's auth module supports making FCGI authorizer  
requests.
If that's so, are there any plans to implement this? Seems like it  
would be a very useful addition.
