Jesse, I'll readily admit that what I suggested is a hack, but it does what
I want (due to various constraints). ;-(

Cresta, because your index page is "not protected", I assume you are not
calling page_open? This would be the likely reason the auth credentials
aren't being propagated to the index page and subsequent pages from hence.

As Giancarlo mentioned, you probably should use default_auth instead.
