When specifying the restrictions for a given path, it would be nice to be able to further limit the HTTP method(s) that can be executed on that path, maybe something like this:

auth.require = (
  "/articles/" => (
    "method"  => "digest",
    "realm"   => "Articles",
    "limit"   => (
      "GET"             => ( "require" => "valid-user" )
      "PUT|POST|DELETE" => ( "require" => "user=admin" )
    )
  ),
)

I'd use this for securing web applications, but it might come in handy for securing WebDAV enabled directories so that specific users can view documents, but they cannot modify or remove them.
