Amazon Cloudfront and .htaccess/.htpasswd

Question

Hi!  
  
I'm testing Amazon Cloudfront on a dev environment which is protected by .htaccess/.htpasswd. The password protection on the dev server is causing all of the cloudfront.net assets to be password protected as well. And no username/password combination works (the poppin just keep asking for password again and again). I cannot remove the password protection.  
  
My .htaccess file:  
ErrorDocument 401 default  
AuthName "ACCESS"  
AuthUserFile /var/www/html/folder/.htpasswd  
AuthType Basic  
AuthGroupFile None

Require valid-user

Allow from all   
Satisfy any

To summarize I need to have a password protection on the website with .htaccess but the console prompt keep asking me for the password.  
On local everything works well that's why I think the problem come from Cloudfront but maybe I'm wrong and the problem is from the ELB.  
  
Do you have any ideas ?

Answer

Ok I've found a solution.  
  
Go to your Cloudfront behaviors and add the next ones where the webauth hit: Accept-Language Accept-Encoding Authorization
