Re^2: About .htaccess

Actually i decided not to use an .htaccess file at all but instead i edited httpd.conf and put 2 directives in it:

<Directory D:/www/data/private>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Private Area!"
AuthUserFile D:/www/passwd.txt
Require user Nikos
</Directory>
[download]

<Location D:/www/cgi-bin/make.pl>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Administrator Only!"
AuthUserFile D:/www/passwd.txt
Require user Nikos
</Location>
[download]

So now iam protecting both the make.pl script and both my private folder! :-)

Iam still thibking though if i need this code:

print header(-status=>'401 Unauthorized', 'WWW-Authenticate'=>'Basic r
+ealm="Restricted Games"') unless $ENV{REMOTE_USER};
exit unless $ENV{REMOTE_USER};

#Restricted code - this code will not run unless user is authenticated
+. Test $ENV{REMOTE_USER} for user-level control
print header(), "Authenticated User: $ENV{REMOTE_USER}\n";
[download]

Any ideas?!?

And also does anybody knows whats changes must i do to transform the above 2 directives to Digest mode? I heard Digest mode has greater security that basic on which the password travels clear through the net. In Digest mode will it travel encrypted as well?	[reply]
