Reviewing the proposed backport, I note the proposed criterion
for access to be deemed enabled is
if (rr->status < HTTP_BAD_REQUEST)
yes;
else
no;
That seems to be begging a little more fine control.
For example, if rr->status == 401, we might want to
offer a login option.
How much more work would it be to integrate it a bit
deeper in the expression parser, so we could use (say)
"(-A /filename < 400) || (-A /filename = 401)"?
