+=head3 Authorization header with mod_fastcgi or mod_cgi
+
+By default, mod_fastcgi/mod_cgi do not pass along the Authorization header,
+so modules like C<Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication::Credential::HTTP> will
+not work.  To enable pass-through of this header, add the following

+
+    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.+)
+    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1,PT]
