I think what Roy is suggesting is that we eliminate the second LocationWalk. I am a
tentative +1 on his suggestion. And it doesn't make sense to allow Location directives
in
.htaccess files (use of Location implies we are not serving out of the file system
anyway). I don't see any problems right off hand...
