Stuff

The deal is this:

All anonymous users, regardless of what URL they access, should be redirected to the login form (unless of course they're on the login/registration/lost password form; then they should stay there).

In their _phptemplate_variables function they have:

    	  	if (!$user->uid) 	// no user?  send to login section
    	  	{
    	  		$vars['template_file'] = 'page-login';
    	  	}

So one would think that something like this at the top of page-login.tpl.php:

if (strncmp($_GET['q'], 'user', 4) != 0) {
  drupal_goto('user/login');
}

...would do the trick. And one would be WRONG! ;)

For, notice:

node/1 (exists) == user/login (good!)
user/register == user/register (good!)
akjdhjkshdjkhsd (not found) == infinite loop (oh no!)
admin/settings (403) == infinite loop (oh no!)

On a 404/403, $_GET['q'] is actually empty. "Ok!" you think to yourself, "I'll test for $_GET['q'] being empty!"

if (empty($_GET['q'] || strncmp($_GET['q'], 'user', 4) != 0) {
  drupal_goto('user/login');
}

WRONG again! :P Because $_GET['q'] is also set to empty when it's in the process of redirecting.

How about we use Ted's method for checking headers?

$headers = drupal_set_header();
if (strncmp($_GET['q'], 'user', 4) != 0 || strpos($headers, '404') || strpos($headers, '403')) {
	drupal_goto('user/login');
}

No again.

So yeah. I'm officially stumped. :( Any ideas?
