With my limited knowledge could a ReWrite rule work here?
Maybe if these 2 URL's are requested, ReWrite to a URL that isn't password protected that can get you to the same place these 2 could?
Anything else, Rewrite to a URL that is password protected that could get you to a central point?
I don't think it needs to be so tricky. Just put the stuff that no password is required outside of the directory tree of the stuff that does have a password requirement.
You may need an additional link to make it easy for your viewers to find it.
Something like this directory tree:
_Doc Root_ / \ / \ / \ htpasswd in here-> _password required_ _no password required_ | | _other pw required stuff_ _other no pw required stuff
You don't have to have your whole Document_Root tree password controlled. Just decide what needs to go in where.

I am just thinking out loud conceptually. Maybe others could shed some light as well.
