Phil,
I'm afraid you seem confused about the use of .htaccess. These files
are only for restricting remote access through Apache web servers and
have no effect on local file access. You may be seeing the difference
because you have tried opening the stack through an HTTP url, which is
a bit roundabout as you are asking the local web server to serve up a
file that is already on your local file system.
Have you tried changing:
go inv stack url
"binfile://home/username/my.domain.com/lockedFolder/test1.rev"
to simply
start using stack
"/home/username/my.domain.com/lockedFolder/test1.rev" ?
HTH
It does indeed help! It works. Thanks so much Brian - and Andre, Jim,
Mark. My permissions were good and I'm using the 2.9 engine, but I'm
pretty new to .ht____ files so... it's my time to learn! Thanks guys.

Hi Phil,
Assuming that your CGI script and the stack are on the same server,
I don't think that your CGI script needs a password and user name to
read any other file on the server. It should work without user name
and password.
The script is in an unprotected directory and the target stack is in
a password-protected directory. Both are on the same server. I assume
that the stackfile in the protected folder can't be read by any user
or process unless that the folder's username & password are provided
with the read request. Are you saying that's not the case?
I'm hoping one of us is misunderstanding the other! Otherwise, what
good is .htpasswd protection?
In my experience so far, it doesn't work unless the target stackfile
is in an unprotected directory. Then it works.
Thanks Mark.
If you really want to check some password, include it as an argument
to the CGI.

How would one 'go to' a stack that lives in a .htpasswd protected
directory?
On a web server, I have a CGI script that wants to use a stack
that's in a protected directory.
When I try the URL form of 'go' as follows, I get a result of 'no
such card':
go inv stack url
"http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/lockedFolder/test1.rev"
go inv stack url
"binfile://username:password@/home/username/my.domain.com/lockedFolder/test1.rev"
go inv stack url
"binfile://home/username/my.domain.com/lockedFolder/test1.rev"
When I try going to it by filepath without user/pass as follows, I
get hung:
go inv stack "/home/username/my.domain.com/lockedFolder/test1.rev"
Any ideas how I can get it to work? I thought about altering the
.htaccess file but I'm not sure what to tell it to allow, nor if
that would do the job.
Thanks for all responses.
