Hey Nils, Thanks a lot for your answer, I've tried to implement it, It seems to almost work,
But I've just a small problem <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30708824/apache2-mod-auth-form-too-many-redirects-under-location>regarding mod_auth_form, Not sure to understand if you have ever used (or not?) mod_auth_form? Thanks a lot anyway!
