I’ve spent much more time than necessary on this issue, so if it can help someone, I’m posting a working config for Django Piston + Apache’s mod_fastcgi + HTTP Basic Authentication.
Works with :
- Apache 2.0.63
- Django 1.2.3
- Piston 0.2.2
I’ve updated the default config file found on the official Django website:
FastCGIExternalServer /project/dir/mysite.fcgi -socket /project/dir/mysite.sock -pass-header Authorization <VirtualHost 123.456.78.9> ServerName servername.com DocumentRoot /project/dir Alias /media /project/dir/media RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/(media.*)$ /$1 [QSA,L,PT] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /mysite.fcgi/$1 [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},QSA,L] </VirtualHost>
tl;dr: -pass-header Authorization and [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},QSA,L]
