solaris, perl 5.8.8, apache 1.3.41, mod_perl 1.30, t/internal/auth.tfailure

Some co-workers were trying to build mod_perl with the setup mentioned
in the subject line, and the 2nd test in t/internal/auth.t was failing.

This test is really short (and weird IMO) but all it does it issue to
requests to the server to test basic auth. the first one should pass
dougm and mod_perl as the login credentials and get a 200, and the
second request should pass bad and one, and get a 403.

In this environment the second test was also sending dougm/mod_perl and
thus the test failed. This seems like a perl bug to me more than
anything else, but if someone can confirm that for me (and point me at
how to report it) it'd be appreciated.

Here's the original test:

---
use Apache::testold;

my $ua = Apache::UserAgent->new;
my $url = URI::URL->new("http://$net::httpserver/auth/.htaccess");
my $i;
my $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $url);

unless($net::callback_hooks{PERL_AUTHEN}) {
print "1..1\nok 1\n";
exit(0);
}

print "1..2\n";

my $response = $ua->request($request, undef, undef);

test ++$i, $response->is_success;
#print $response->as_string;
$ua->creds(qw(bad one));

$response = $ua->request($request, undef, undef);

test ++$i, $response->is_error;

BEGIN {
package Apache::UserAgent;
@ISA = qw(LWP::UserAgent);
@creds = qw(dougm mod_perl);

sub get_basic_credentials { shift->creds }

sub creds {
shift;
@creds = @_ if @_;
@creds;
}

}
---

and here's what I changed the test to, which gets it to pass:

---
use Apache::testold;

my $ua = Apache::UserAgent->new;
my $ua2 = Apache::UserAgent2->new;
my $url = URI::URL->new("http://$net::httpserver/auth/.htaccess");
my $i;
my $request = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $url);

unless($net::callback_hooks{PERL_AUTHEN}) {
print "1..1\nok 1\n";
exit(0);
}

print "1..2\n";

my $response = $ua->request($request, undef, undef);

test ++$i, $response->is_success;
#print $response->as_string;

$response = $ua2->request($request, undef, undef);

test ++$i, $response->is_error;

BEGIN {
package Apache::UserAgent;
@ISA = qw(LWP::UserAgent);
@creds = qw(dougm mod_perl);

sub get_basic_credentials { shift->creds }

sub creds {
shift;
@creds = @_ if @_;
@creds;
}

package Apache::UserAgent2;
@ISA = qw(LWP::UserAgent);
@creds = qw(bad one);

sub get_basic_credentials { shift->creds }

sub creds {
shift;
@creds = @_ if @_;
@creds;
}

}
