I find a strange behavior while using HTTP authentication : I log 401 attempts with this settings : {{{ .. error_page 400 404 401 /error.html; .. location = /error.html { internal; access_log /var/log/nginx/4xxerror.log; } .. }}} All work fine but i still have a 401 error when i first request a page so it's while i get the prompt (i haven't click ok or cancel yet). I don't think it's normal, it should only return a 401 if there is a wrong user/passwd or pressed the cancel button. Could you avoid this 401 when no login have been entered yet ?
