[Locomotive-users] HTTP_AUTHORIZATION

[Chris Abad]

No, that's not what I'm trying to do. I already have the http  
authorization built into my app. What I'm trying to do is have the  
web server grab the credentials from the URL (I've seen it done w/  
Apache, and assume this is done at the web server level) and pass it  
correctly through the header.

Here's what I think I need:
1. What's the web server in Locomotive? Mongrel? Lighttpd?
2. Where's the config file for that web server?
