Hi!
I use java1.4 and apache 2.0.55
The apache is connected to a tomcat 5.5

When I set up a HTTP Authentication, I get the following Java exception
when viewing images:

server redirected too many times (20)

When I turn off HTTP Authentication, it works again...

does anybody have a clue?
please help.

This usually means that the server sent a redirect to the client asking
to go to another page, which, in turn, sent another redirect, and so on
and so forth.

Now, I've never saw that happening with basic authentication, so that
make me think that you're not using basic authentication but some kind
of scripting-side authentication or that there is something done after
the authentication that screw things up.
