Hmm... I don't know where that REDIRECT_ is coming from, but
ZPublisher won't like it.  Here is the slice of code from ZPublisher.Publish
(lib/python/ZPublisher/Publish.py:line 151)

        if environ.has_key('HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'):
            self.HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=environ['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION']
            try: del environ['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION']
            except: pass
        elif environ.has_key('HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION'):
            self.HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=environ['HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION']
            try: del environ['HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION']
            except: pass

Perhaps we need to add a hack to this hack (with all respect Jim :) to
account for this REDIRECT_  phenomenon.  Just add another 'elif' block
to the end of this like so:

        elif environ.has_key('REDIRECT_HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION'):

self.HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=environ['REDIRECT_HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION']
            try: del environ['REDIRECT_HTTP_CGI_AUTHORIZATION']
            except: pass

This is not graceful, but should work.  I'll plow through the Apache
code to see if there is rhyme or reason here.
