[nycphp-talk] PHP testing for a password protected folder/file

Hello NYPHP,
I have an errorpage script that checks for
$_SERVER['REDIRECT_STATUS'] and delivers a user friendly message
depending on which error condition it finds, works great most of the
time. The problem is when is encountered a password protected
folder, it delivers the 401 or 403 error message and completely
ignores/bypasses the popup username/password window that usually
occurs in .htaccess password protected folders.
What test / condition do I need to use to check for if a folder is
password protected in combination with the REDIRECT_STATUS to allow
the popup window instead of automatically generating the 401 / 403
error messages?
TIA for any help. This was a total surprise to me after I deployed
the script so I have a bit of a bind to fix it ASAP.
