I appreciate you all (Dave especially) being patient with my fundamental ignorance of how the browser has to hit the server again for css, images , etc. It makes perfect sense no that i think about it.
I wonder if a regex would do at the appropriate place in authenticate: return DECLINED if $r->template =~ /.+(.css|.html|.htm|.gif|.png|.jpg)$/; It would probabl still be better to have the httpd.conf handle images, css, and otherthings that did not need to be authorized or authenticated . However for static pages that may need to be authorized and authenticated, maybe something like this could work. Another case, say you wanted images to display only if a user was over 18 . How, from the authenticate sub, would you skip Maypole processing yet tell Apache to not return the image? . Return ERROR? thanks On 9/11/05, Frank Carnovale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes, I thought that. > > It makes no sense passing static browser-side resources (images, javascripts, > css) through the Maypole logic, and therefore through the TT logic, which has > to scan for [% %] sections.
