         printf("\nuser: %s\n", conn->realm_ref);


returns: (null)


         if (conn->validator != NULL) {
                     printf("\nuser: %s\n", conn->validator->user);
         }


I guess I need to do something with the validator object?


I try to do the authentication with bla:bla at 127.0.0.1.

No not really, any user can get the documents, but updates to them are 
for authenticated users only.

That is a thing I agree on, but for now I cannot check if the get 
request even has authentication because Cherokee doesn't give me any 
data :\ I might do something wrong though.
