Add note about .htaccess modification for CGI / FastCGI

[JPustkuchen]

Hi and thank you for this great plugin!

When using PHP as CGI / FastCGI this plugin may fail to work. You should add the following snippet to the description to be added to the .htaccess aftter RewriteEngine On:

# Make sure Authorization HTTP header is available to PHP
# even when running as CGI or FastCGI.
RewriteRule ^ - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

Full example:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

# Make sure Authorization HTTP header is available to PHP
# even when running as CGI or FastCGI.
RewriteRule ^ - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

I think that will save people from trouble and you from "not working" messages ;)

Bump?! I think this is also the reason for several issues here and on the WP Plugin page. Would you mind to add this information?

@JPustkuchen Plugin already setting the rewrite rule in .htaccess file. Can you please verify does it set in your .htaccess file or not?

# BEGIN HTTP Auth
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
    </IfModule>
# END HTTP Auth

If it is not set then can you please provide your $_SERVER configuration?
