Hi developers. I have hacked up a new authentication module[1] that will use libcurl to forward all cookies to a specified URL. The URL will validate my normal session cookie and print the matching username.
This way, I can reuse my internal session manager to password protect folders (webalizer, munin, etc.) with a simple .htaccess like this: AuthType Cookiecheck AuthCookiecheckUrl http://example.com/cgi/cookiecheck.cgi Require user mya...@example.com and not bother users with the annoying basic auth and an extra password. As I am not used to working with the Apache source code, I would appreciate comments on this approach. I am wary of the implementation details as well as the general idea.
