*That's it!*
I replicate htpasswd and htgroup into the midgard user tables,
then make the site inaccessible and reset all passwords to a
single secret one. A request for http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
does the normal Midgard stuff and requests the page from
http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/, passing any errors on.
This is *not* a situation I am going to keep, but it'll allow
me to move that site to Midgard now pending the ACL stuff.
Brilliant! Thanks,
Emile
