Yeah, I found an RPM (for the "lesser" RedHat package manager ;)

But now I'm just trying to turn on basic authentication via Apache
(without using WebKit for the task), but that seems tricky, since as
far as I can tell, that can only be done in a .htaccess file or a
Directory directive, both of which seem to be ignored when using
WebKit, since I'm not accessing the files "through Apache" anymore.
(Of course, I can add protection to the WebKit cgi script itself, but
that would be excessive, as would it be to add a separate cgi script
for the protected directory/ies.)

Isn't there a way to make Apache trigger its authentication *before*
rewriting and forwarding the request (i.e. adding a Require directive
to a URL, rather than an absolute path)?
