$_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION']  // from $_SERVER['REDIRECT_HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'];
$_SERVER['GEOIP_LATITUDE']      // from $_SERVER['REDIRECT_REDIRECT_GEOIP_LATITUDE'];

// unify user variables, if needed
$_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']   // from $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] // from $_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']

// from $_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION']:
$_SERVER['AUTH_TYPE']       // 'Basic' or 'Digest'
$_SERVER['REMOTE_USER']     // if needed
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']   // if needed
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']     // if $_SERVER['AUTH_TYPE'] === 'Basic'
$_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_DIGEST'] // if $_SERVER['AUTH_TYPE'] === 'Digest'
```
