in thread How do I link in CGI?

If you are using basic authentication on the Apache webserver then what you are asking is not possible without recompiling Apache to support custom authentication.

Apache pops up a little dialogue box when you log in. If your login fails then nothing happens. If your login succeeds then you go where you want to go.

Those are your choices. If you want a customized error screen you are out of luck unless you recompile.
