I am guessing here, without testing this.
1. In the above, change
AllowOverride None
Require valid-user
to
AllowOverride AuthConfig
<Limit GET POST>
Require valid-user
</Limit>
or better still
AllowOverride AuthConfig
<LimitExcept>
Require valid-user
</LimitExcept>
2. In the directory/location you wish, override the auth config
as follows:
<Location ....>
<LimitExcept>
</LimitExcept>
</Location>
Hopefully by removing the Require in the <Location ...>
section, there will no longer be an access restriction.
