Using 'localhost' with Apache 1.3 HTTP basic authentication?

[conradwt@runbox.com]

Hi, I'm configuring a PHP script to use HTTP Basic Authentication.
Thus, is it possible to test basic authentication using 'localhost'?
If so, could someone send me a working .htaccess file because the
following doesn't seem to launch the login dialog:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "TEST HOST"
AuthUserFile C:/wwwroot/testhost/passwd/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
<Limit Get>
Require valid-user
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy all
</Limit>

Thanks in advance,
