Hi, This may not be anything specific to Apache::AuthCookie. So sorry for the off-topic question. I have been able to get Apache::AuthCookie to work for me on directories other than the URL root <Location />. What happens when I do that is that the images in the script invoked by the LOGIN location do not come up. Basically, what I want to do is: <Location / > [ .. AuthCookie Stuff ..] require valid-user </Location> <Location /image_files> [ ..force no authentication/authorization here ..] </Location> Thanks, Liz __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
