Question

I have a folder protected by .htaccess (digest authentication). I need to read outputs of some scripts located in subfolders of this folder using file_get_contents. This reading script is located in the protected folder root. It can’t perform the file_get_contents function because of the folder protection.
Is there any way to allow certain PHP scripts to operate in the folder by some htaccess settings so I won’t have to create some cURL based login sessions in the scripts?

Answer 1

You can create rewrite rules based on useragent string. And then in your curl request you need to set a usearagent string allowed in your htaccess file.
