[imp] alternate perspective

[semot api]

dear atif/zach,
i read with interest about your email conversion on
the imp list: (archive)
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=imp&m=101172737114752&w=2

i altered slightly the snippet that atif gave and it
became:

<?
define('IMP_BASE', '/home/httpd/htdocs/horde/imp');
require_once IMP_BASE . '/lib/base.php';
require_once IMP_BASE . '/config/servers.php';

$user=Auth::getAuth();

if ($user) {
    print "Hello $user";
}
else {
    header('Location: ' . 
Horde::applicationUrl("login.php?url=hello.php",
true));
    exit;
}
?>

this code is called with
http://myapps.dom.ain/index.php
(path translated: /home/httpd/htdocs/myapps)

and imp is called with http://mail.dom.ain
(path translated: /home/httpd/htdocs/horde/imp)


now since
Horde::applicationUrl("login.php?url=hello.php needs
that login.php script, i copied imp's login.php into
/home/httpd/htdocs/myapps. and as there other
depencies, i have to copy css.php, mailbox.php and
redirect.php.

is this *normal* for an app that is installed
*outside* of the horde tree that needs to use horde's
auth engine?

tia
