Hi,
You can use ApJservAction to map certain file type to a servlet.
I have used like this in httpd.conf file for a virtual host:
ApJservAction .html /servlet/MyServlet.
Now You can protect all .html files.
In the servlet You can deside to serv the file or not.
You can get the exact file path of the file requested by
calling: request.getPathTranslated().
BIG DISADVANTAGE is that in must be set to a whole virtual host it
cann't
be set for a certain directory only (as far as I know).
I know know if i'm right but i think you ca nuse the .htaccess file too
and
the authentication made by apache. Sorry, i don't know how to do this.
Hope it helps.
Best wishes,
