RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization}

Could someone explain what the following in the .htaccess does:

RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} !^$
RewriteRule .* – [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

?

Henrik, it helps to HTTP authentication work on servers that don’t run PHP as a module (doesn’t work in all situations though).

Olga, it’s a hidden file. If your TXP versions works correctly with clean URLs, then you have this file installed correctly.
