There many approach to this, the first one that come to mind is mod-rewrite
parsing the request and apply some processing if there is a match..
Where do you store credentials? LDAP?
Where is the security boundary in your design?
Hope this helps

Subject: Apache filters?
Hi all,
I am using Tomcat to serve up my image content. I was considering moving this
static content to Apache itself but I'm stuck on how to do dynamic
authorisation of a directory in Apache. In Tomcat I can restrict access to the
images directory by adding a filter and in this filter dynamically checking for
a valid security pin in the url. But how would I do such a thing in Apache? I
know Apache can do it based on user or requesting machine but this is more
dynamic.
Cheers alot
Alex
