I tried that and, as I said, the result is a browser's hung-up (IE and
Opera). Fortunately Mozilla did have an error message: "Redirection limit
for this URL exceeded. Unable to load the requested page". What apparently
happens is that the missing authorization redirects the request to the
"login_form" URL instead of the browser's login prompt, but due to any
method can't be viewed by anonymous users, it is again redirected to itself
thus starting the redirection loop.

There shoud be a way to effectively restrict access to a CMF object except
to one single login-form method. Or maybe to modify the redirections'
behaviour, enabling CMF to run without calling its contained "login_form" at
the login time, just to priorize the browser's prompt.
