HTTP-Authentication fails

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Configure TTRSS to use auth_remote (disable auth_internal entirely)
2. Enable HTTP-Authentication in TTRSS-Reader settings.
3. Login fails with generic LOGIN_ERROR.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Successful login.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? And
what server-version is your TTRSS-server running?

KitKat (CM11)
TTRSS 1.11
TTRSS-Reader 1.73

Please provide any additional information below.

What's weird is I've always had the TTRSS page behind Apache authentication and 
just recently enabled auth_remote.  The old setup worked fine with 
TTRSS-Reader.  It would authenticate successfully with both Apache and my TTRSS 
instance even without enabling HTTP-Authentication in TTRSS-Reader's settings.

I've tried simply enabling HTTP-Authentication without specifying a username 
and password since they're the same as the credentials under Connection 
settings as well as specifying credentials in both places.  I've also tried 
removing the credentials under Connection and specifying them in 
HTTP-Authentication Settings.  All to no avail.

I'm setting this to accepted but I'm probably not going to do anything about 
this bug since I don't have much time and don't use auth_remote myself.

It turns out this was my fault.  I had a nuanced error in my apache config 
which resulted in apache not passing the username to PHP-FPM (not entirely sure 
why it worked in the browser).  I've corrected the misconfiguration and HTTP 
Authentication works as expected in TTRSS-Reader.  My apologies.
