I recently had this same issue as far as Authorizations are concerned.  We
were having an issue where let's say an authorized file was accessed with an
unauthorized access attempt it would cache the unauthorized attempt [Code:
401] and return that to a valid credential holding user.  I got around it
like this. (patch attached) [probably not the best method]  In your case you
would replace the 401 with 302.
