[Zope] Site Access Rules and Permissions

[Chris Withers]

Hi,

I have the following access rule:

<dtml-if "_.has_key('virtual_host') and REQUEST.environ['HTTP_HOST']==virtual_host">
 <dtml-call "REQUEST.setURL(path='/')">
</dtml-if>

The idea being that if a folder represents a virtual host (see the thread 'REQUEST vraible methods'
on this list for background...) you can just give that folder a virtual_host property which the
above rule checks for, and if it matches that in the header, if sets the base path to '/'.

However, if I try and access any folder with this rule in it, I get challenged for authentication
and get 'Authorization failed' no matter what username and password I use, including the root ones!

What is going on?

Chris
