Very similar to what I did, and I'm not altogether happy about my syntax.
It requires some sort of tags, because the body may contain binary data
(think in terms of a collection of gifs, or including some very obscure
encodings.) I added the body tag to include (as binary) everything to
the end tag. This patch was simply the straightest line.
The patch is attached. It has an intrinsic limit of 8100 some bytes per
body, which isn't that unreasonable, but could be expanded. Longer entities
should be dropped into their own URI: locations. It creates file buckets, and
just caches the offsets, rather than reading in all the possible bodies before
we run the negotation. File buckets are pretty slick :)
I've attached the auth_required.html.var messages from Lars' collection. I added
the images and include folders to /serverroot/error/ and placed this file in this
folder, added the following;
Alias /error/ "/serverroot/error/"
<Directory "/serverroot/error">
AllowOverride None
Options IncludesNoExec
AddHandler type-map var
SetOutputFilter Includes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
# we're going nowhere fast :)
Alias /secure/ "/serverroot/secure/"
<Directory "/serverroot/secure">
AllowOverride None
Options Multiviews
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
AuthUserFile "/serverroot/conf/.htsecure"
AuthName "why?"
AuthType basic
Require valid-user
</Directory>
Experiment, and please comment on my (admittedly lame) syntax.
