While I applaud this response and it finally being done, I would suggest making the cvar protected as well. Many people probably use a web host that they have only FTP access to, or sometimes cpanel. They will not have access to make modifications to apache itself. I think both ideas are useful and worth it. Please make this a protected cvar.
The feature has actually been there quite a while (at least months, according to logs). Hiding the cvar is not useful. If someone really wants to steal your bandwidth, they can use some external tool to see where the requests are going, so while it may stop the average player it won't stop anyone who actually wants to do this. Security through obscurity isn't usually a Good Idea. I would say people with only FTP access should be allowed to use .htaccess, if they can't well, they're SOL, sorry. cheers, -- Richard _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
