[PHPiCalendar-DEV] Basic Auth Problem

[kiz_0987 <kiz...@ya...>]

I have a problem when trying to publish a calendar to
phpicalendar with http authentication. When I remove
my .htaccess file everything works, as soon as I add
it back iCal cannot publish. 

- I have tried both basic and digest auth.
- I have checked the username/password used in iCal.
- I have checked that I can access the page in a
webbrowser if I enter the username passwd.
- Nothing appears in the publish_log.txt file.

Here is my .htaccess file:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthUserFile
"/home2/apineapp/.htpasswds/calendar/passwd"
require valid-user

I have tried this on the released version of
phpicalendar and the 2.0 beta. My web host is using
Apache 1.3.33 with PHP 4.3.10 (it is with hosting
company so there is nothing I can do with the
httpd.conf files). 

There is nothing in the Apache error log. In the
access log I see:
69.196.163.140 - - [15/Jan/2005:16:50:40 -0500] "PUT
/admin/calendar/calendars/publish.ical.php/Home.ics
HTTP/1.1" 401 2503 "-" "DAVKit/0.1"
69.196.163.140 - - [15/Jan/2005:16:51:19 -0500] "PUT
/admin/calendar/calendars/publish.ical.php/Home.ics
HTTP/1.1" 401 2502 "-" "DAVKit/0.1"

If I remove the .htaccess file I get:
69.196.163.140 - - [15/Jan/2005:17:11:47 -0500] "PUT
/admin/calendar/calendars/publish.ical.php/Home.ics
HTTP/1.1" 500 2656 "-" "DAVKit/0.1"
69.196.163.140 - - [15/Jan/2005:17:17:16 -0500] "PUT
/admin/calendar/calendars/publish.ical.php/Home.ics
HTTP/1.1" 200 5 "-" "DAVKit/0.1"

So it looks to me that iCal is not sending the
username (no user is listed in the access log) and
getting a 401 response or for some other reason it's
not being authenticated.  I wondered if my host
company httpd.conf file had stopped PUTs into
directories, but it does work if my .htaccess file is
removed so it can't be that.

Any ideas?

Thanks
