Did you at least change the auth realm when you moved the function?
The browser will remember the username/password for the prior
realm until the browser is quit. This can often be a trap when testing
authentication stuff.

Have you added logging into your auth function to check whether it
is being called or not?

Can you create the most minimal example you think demonstrates the
problem and post it on the list? You keep posting snippets and without
it all, hard to tell if there are things that might have been missed.
