By applying the attached patch to /framework/Rpc/lib/Horde/RPC.php and  
adding in to the horde website root's .htaccess the following line

RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]

This patch is in line with the document at  
http://wiki.horde.org/HTTPAuthHowTo which states this will permit a  
CGI-BIN'd instance of PHP to convert the basic authentication to a  
variable it can use.

Alternatively, it may be worth updating the wiki to show a better  
line, if (for example) the existing code I've patched is already using  
a line like:

RewriteRule .* - [E=Authorizaton:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]

Either way, this should probably be documented somewhere in the docs  
to show this could be useful.
