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. ////jerry > > I am just thinking out loud conceptually.
