Implementing better .htaccess
I was reading simplebits this morning and read about how users are pulling Dan's bandwidth down using direct links to his images. Bit of a sensitive issue here… While I understand that is not the best way to go sometimes…

Actually, it can't be comprehensive. What about digest auth type? Digest, in general, is more secure than basic. Nowadays no one should just think about sending her username/password unencrypted through the net.

Now I am thinking about a JavaScript-enabled password protection (the client encodes clear password with a challenge generated by the server, then send login form, thus an evil cannot get the real password). Of course, for a script-based authentication, not for a HTTP-based one.

Oi, how I could have used this last week when trying to figure out how to redirect 650 pages! Thanks for the bookmark — I'm sure it'll come in handy in the future.

I actaully use all Mod_rewrites in my .htaccess except for my ErrorDocument handling. But for those who really don't understand regexps or are just starting to delve into the intracasies of .htaccess, I figured this was a great starting point.

It's definitely easier to understand than regexps..

because i think that mod_rewrite should never be under-estimated, here's a link to a more advanced look at the apache module

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/misc/rewriteguide.html

and to take full advantage of mod_rewrite, you can't forget your regular expressions
