Thanks for responding. You picked it. The static html file in htdocs 
required valid-user and on submit is calling cgi-bin/collectinfo.py. As 
soon as I required valid-user in the cgi-bin directory (same realm) as 
well, it started working.

Thanks heaps

1. Static html file in htdocs basic auth directory
	triggers login prompt

2. Page displays with form fields and on submit calls 
cgi-bin/collectinfo.py which fails to find REMOTE_USER
