h1. Module mod_access
{{>toc}}
h2. Description
The access module is used to deny access to files.
h2. Options
*url.access-allow*
Allow access only to files with any of given trailing path names. (since 1.4.40)
Default value:empty
*url.access-deny*
Denies access to all files with any of given trailing path names.
Default value:empty
h2. Usage examples
*url.access-allow*
<pre>
url.access-allow = ( ".jpg", ".gif")
</pre>
You might want to deny access to all files ending with a tilde (~) or .inc because of:
# Text editors often use a trailing tilde for backup files.
# And the .inc extension is often used for include files with code.
*url.access-deny*
<pre>
url.access-deny = ( "~", ".inc")
</pre>
*Directory deny access*
An empty string in @url.access-deny@ matches all requests
<pre>
$HTTP["url"] =~ "^/libraries" {
url.access-deny = ("")
}
</pre>
</pre>
Note: Creating a very, very large list of conditions is inefficient. If creating conditions from a list, consider batching them with regex alternations into many fewer conditions, each with a large regex. See #3074
