Question

I have an htaccess file that uses mod_rewrite to redirect /controller to /index.php?controller=%controller%

Like this:

# Various rewrite rules. <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>   RewriteEngine on    # Rewrite current-style URLs of the form 'index.php?controller=x&action=y'.   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?controller=$1 [L,QSA] </IfModule> 

Now, what I need to be able to do is make ONE of the controllers work with HTTP Authentication. I’m not asking if this is the best way to do things, I’m simply asking how to do it.

Example:

http://www.example.com/ - It requires no auth http://www.example.com/secret - requires auth 

Answer 1

<Location /secret>   AuthName localhost   AuthType Basic   AuthUserFile <file>   Require valid-user </Location>
