1 Issue fixed.

PHP_AUTH_USER & PHP_AUTH_PW are now being set if PHP is using fast CGI

This is sorely needed, this was hard to track. Please consider merging.

Just flagged this in core slack to see if @rmccue et al can take a look

Any progress on this issue? For the moment I am using @mnelson4 version https://github.com/eventespresso/Basic-Auth which works A+

alkema commented 7 years ago

The solution developed here https://github.com/eventespresso/Basic-Auth is the best one in my opinion because it does not suggest any Apache-specific solutions. The handling of HTTP headers is best handled in PHP, then the plugin just works with any web server. Thanks @mnelson4!

@rmccue Could you review this?

This was approved a year ago.

A number of hosts use FastCGI and telling customers to use an htaccess workaround to force HTTP for auth is not really a good security practice. Can this please be revisited for WP 5.5?
