[Phpwm] .htaccess auth question

I don't think it's possible to put php code inside a .htaccess file,
although there may be some amazing technique for doing it that I've
never heard of.

I now have my application working so that it logs the users into the
dev sites without a password prompt. One thing I noticed is that
passing the username and password causes a slightly irritating prompt
in firefox. So I added a check like this before the redirect:

	function testUrl($uri)
	{	
		$client = new Zend_Http_Client();
		$client->setUri($uri);
		$response = $client->request();
		$status = $response->getStatus();
		
		return ($status == '200');
	}

I only pass the username and password when the http status is not 200,
if it's 200 the site doesn't require authentication for this user
currently.
