Apache Header(...) and IE5.01

[Anon]

Does anyone know why IE5.01 ignores the following headers:

<?php
if (!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {
Header("WWW-Authenicate: Basic Realm=\"SecuredArea\"");
Header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized");
echo "Invalid password entered!";
} else {
// do something ...
}

?>

When accessed with IE5.01, there's no pop-up authenication window, just the
error message "Invalid password entered!". But with IE4.0 it seems to work just fine.
Any ideas????

<?php

       if (!isset($PHP_AUTH_USER)) {
          header( ' WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="SecuredArea" ' );
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo 'Invalid Password!';
exit; 
         }

?>

This is how I did it.... seems very similar... but I didn't user backslashes in the realm, and I used ' ' where you were using " " .
Remember to add the exit too!
Seems to work fine. Hope it helps!

Am am trying the same thing .. and made the same mistake.. mispelling Authenticate .. I had Authenicate and thought there was something wrong with IE5 ... Reason being it worked under Netscape !!! It appears that Netscape is more forgiving than IE ;')
