No takers huh? Ok, I'll shorten it ;p
Any opinions trying to get the Authentication User Name from CGI this way:
my $user = remote_user() || user_name();
If I'm thinking right that would give me the best chance of getting the Auth name
if there is one and if there is none then $user would be empty right?
What is $self->http('from') in the CGI user_name function above?
