Hi André, This is definitely going to be helpful. I was considering just accessing the raw config values, but could only find dir_config that remotely resembled what I needed. I ended up introducing a custom directive, but that's clunky in my opinion. So, Apache2::Directive is already a big improvement. Also, if the hanlding of 'requires' is so simple as AuthCookie shows, that would be terrific. I will be back with an update if I'm successful.
Thanks a ton!!
