Watch out for stray tab characters in WWW-Authenticate header statements. This appears to break
basic authentication on IE for Windows. For example:
function authenticate() {
header( "WWW-Authenticate:\t Basic realm=\"This won't work\"");
header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
echo "You must enter a valid login ID and password to access this resource\n";
exit;
}
The above will cause IE on windows to not display the authentication dialog.
