The conversation below suggests that pcgi passes requests to Zope. I am confused about this because I am told this is a Website issue, but when explained in it's simplest terms (below) it appears to be a pcgi or Zope issue.
The error I am receiving says that the webserver may not be able to forward cgi requests (? it's been awhile since I looked at it) This doesn't make sense if pcgi is passing the info on. I guess I am asking "Where exactly is authentication breaking down when using pcgi....or where is it most likely to break down?
From this I'm guessing that website is not passing authentication headers in the environment when a cgi is called, which is a good default configuration. The Apache magic is a method for telling Apache you really want it to pass the auth info to the cgi.
