The problem with this is that you'll have to add the authentication routine
to every request for protected information. This is doable if all protected
content is generated dynamically. If not, you'll have to figure out some
automated way to have Apache intercept all requests for static content and
redirect them through your authentication routine. Maybe this can be done
using some rewrite feature. You'll probably need to ask on an Apache list or
newsgroup.
