Try <Location> instead of <Directory>. <Location> works by URL rather than directory. I know Allow/Deny + mod_rewrite + mod+webkit all inside a <Location> work, so there must be a way to get basic authentication to work too. If you can post or send me the portion of your httpd.conf that does the webkit and the rewrites, or the entire virtual host, perhaps we can figure something out. I think you can also change the order of the LoadModule and/or AddModule directives to control which order they are applied to the request. -- -Mike (Iron) Orr, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (if mail problems: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://iron.cx/ English * Esperanto * Russkiy * Deutsch * Espan~ol _______________________________________________ Webware-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/webware-discuss
