<h2>Authorization Required</h2>
<p>Sorry, I am not authorized to access the specified URL.</p>
<p>
The URL you specified, <<a href="<TMPL_VAR NAME="http_401_url">"><TMPL_VAR NAME="http_401_url"></a>>,
returned a 401 "authorization required" response when I tried
to download it.
</p>
<p>
You should have been prompted by your browser for a
username/password pair; if you had supplied this information, I
would have forwarded it to your server for authorization to
access the resource. You can use your browser's "reload" function
to try again, if you wish.
</p>
<p>
Of course, you may not want to trust me with this information,
which is fine. I can tell you that I don't log it or do
anything else nasty with it, and you can <a href="source/">download the
source code for this service</a> to see what it does, but you have no
guarantee that this is actually the code I'm using; you basically have to
decide whether to trust me or not :-)
</p>
<p>
You should also be aware that the way we proxy this authentication
information defeats the normal working of HTTP Authentication.
If you authenticate to server A, your browser may keep sending
the authentication information to us every time you validate
a page, regardless of what server it's on, and we'll happily pass
that on to the server thereby making it possible for a malicious
server operator to capture your credentials.
</p>
<p>
Due to the way HTTP Authentication works there is no way we can
avoid this. We are using some "tricks" to fool your client into
not sending this information in the first place, but there is no
guarantee this will work. If security is a concern to you, you
may wish to avoid validating protected resources or take extra
precautions to prevent your browser from sending authentication
information when validating other servers.
</p>
<p>
Also note that you shouldn't use HTTP Basic Authentication for
anything which really needs to be private, since the password
goes across the network unencrypted.
