Comments on: htaccess Tricks for Webmasters http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/htaccess-for-webmasters.html Advanced Web Development Tue, 18 Jun 2013 10:04:02 +0000 hourly 1 By: Fred http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/htaccess-for-webmasters.html#comment-2392 Fred Mon, 20 May 2013 06:44:00 +0000 http://www.askapache.com.com/htaccess/htaccess-for-webmasters.html#comment-2392 Is there a way to invoke the htaccess u/p prompt within HTML? For example, instead of having a link to a password-protected page which, when clicked, pulls up the prompt for the username and password, is there a way to incorporate the prompt (the username and password fields) on the page where the link exists? This would allow a person to provide clues as to the username and password, and the visitor would not need to write them down; he could simply fill in the username and password fields WHILE reading the clues, which would allow for some measure of security from automated spam bots. In short, he would see the clues, fill in the fields and, let's say, click "Enter". The proper credentials would be immediately passed on, and the protected page (in the protected directory) would load without the additional step of a pop-up prompt. Please advise.

But I think that these variables cannot be used as the Condition string.

Is there another way to do it?

But shows wrong characters for accents after performing the compression of the cached pages. I think you should change the htaccess to correct it but I'm not sure how.

You should put complete .htaccess file content as you explain rather than part of it. This will help immensely to users like us.
Thanks again.

Appologies but I am having a slight problem, I am hosting mirrors for some open sourge mirrors and I am about to start for the Apache project but there is some requirements that apache has that I have never done before and I really would like some input, I have put my .htaccess file on the document root outside the apache directory and the other mirror directories, apache wants to have the following in

IndexOptions FancyIndexing NameWidth=* FoldersFirst ScanHTMLTitles DescriptionWidth=*
HeaderName HEADER.html
ReadmeName README.html
AllowOverride FileInfo Indexes
Options Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

but if i put this in and edit the path I get a 500 error, could you please tell me where I am going wrong?

Regards
Per Qvindesland
