Graham,

here is the information from mod_python.testhandler.
The kerberos authentication worked fine with testhandler.
I can't see anything strange in the output....
Thank

marco

No access to mod_python code right now to do any checking so only
thing I can suggest is to set handler to be mod_python.testhandler and
have a look at what it returns and see if you can see anything strange
about the request details that make it through. You might scrub what
it shows of any sensitive data and post it.
