I have been asking for something like that some time ago. I got get
recommendation
to use a special authorization module for apache like cookie_auth. THe
servlet would
set a cookie which the apache server will then authenticate on.
After getting so far, the need to authorize plain HTML-pages disapeared
an so
i did not even test it.
If the solution you propose works, i would like to know how.
