"Auth" exceptions

Added by estratos almost 16 years ago

Hi,

I'm using this statements for enabling the authentication on the web root:

$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/" {
  auth.backend = "htpasswd" 
  auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/etc/htpasswd" 
  auth.require = ("/" => (
     "method"  => "basic",
     "realm"   => "root",
     "require" => "valid-user" 
  ))
}

How could I disable the authentication on a given subfolder (/images) or for a given file (/images/icon.png)?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Daniel.

$HTTP["url"] !~ "^(/images/.*|/images/icon.png)$" {
  auth.backend = "htpasswd" 
  auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/etc/htpasswd" 
  auth.require = ("/" => (
     "method"  => "basic",
     "realm"   => "root",
     "require" => "valid-user" 
  ))
}

(yes i know the example isnt so smart, but it illustrates how to do it for multiple urls.)
