Description

I wonder if there is some fundamental reason (performance? RFC?) why auth.require use "left substring" instead of regular expressions, it's kinda one of the few places not to be blessed by them in the whole configuration ;-)

I've attached a small script to generate auth.require configuration details so that one does not have to write the whole shebang by herself.


  $ grep -B1 inc /etc/lighttpd/conf-enabled/10-auth.conf 
  # LOCATION="/doc /mp3 /server-config /server-status" 
  include_shell           "/usr/local/bin/lighty-auth-require.sh"

As a workaround, can't you just do a URL regex match, like so:


$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/[^/]+/login" {
  auth.require = (
    "" => ( 
      "method" => "digest",
      "realm" => "Secure",
      "require" => "valid-user",
    )
  )
}

Works for me.

Great! I've added this to http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/Docs:ModAuth#configuration. I'm happy with this solution and would vote to close this bug. Lapo?
