Excellent! Just what I was hoping for! Any clues as to the C equivalent of
set_handler()? I've been looking in the apache header files and not found
anything yet that matches.

I know. I've been doing exactly that :) Great book by the way :)

A quick overview of what I want: if user requests a resource with a
particular method, and that method is in a list of public accessible
methods, then auth is not required. If not, then authn/authz is required.
Simple as.
I know there are other ways of doing this with Limit, for example, but my
module adds a few bits and bobs to make management a bit easier (and
extensible). I would however, appreciate your comments on the subject :)
Cheers for confirming,
Ben

mod_perl just exposes the API to Perl programmers. Translate their
example
to C and it'll work without mod_perl. You want C, my book takes you
through
developing a custom authentication/authorization handler.
If I understood your original question ("... conditional
authentication ... if
public access is granted"??) I could perhaps say something more
specific.
