does not work with cgi, solution found

The plugin doesn’t function in a cgi environment. After deleting the 3.4 AtomPub files, I was getting 401 Unauthorized errors (even though it was working fine in the old implementation under WP 3.4). The authentication wasn’t properly being sent to the file after the rewrite. I had to do two things:

Change .htaccess from
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
to
RewriteRule . /index.php [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]

change class-wp-atom-server.php authenticate() to:

function authenticate() {

		// if using mod_rewrite/ENV hack
		// http://www.besthostratings.com/articles/http-auth-php-cgi.html

		if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'])) {
			list($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']) =
				explode(':', base64_decode(substr($_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'], 6)));
		} else if (isset($_SERVER['REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER'])) {
      //is this even possible now?
      //
			// Workaround for setups that do not forward HTTP_AUTHORIZATION
			// See http://trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/ticket/7361
			list($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']) =
				explode(':', base64_decode(substr($_SERVER['REDIRECT_REMOTE_USER'], 6)));
		} else if (isset($_SERVER['REDIRECT_HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'])) {
			//because wpapp.php is virtual, the name of the server var has changed
			list($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']) =
				explode(':', base64_decode(substr($_SERVER['REDIRECT_HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'], 6)));
    }

		// If Basic Auth is working...
		if (isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) && isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'])) {

			$user = wp_authenticate($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']);
			if ( $user && !is_wp_error($user) ) {
				wp_set_current_user($user->ID);
				return true;
			}
		}

		return false;
	}

I tired to commit this to the svn, but I’m not really sure how this process works.
