Is there a way to do something like this? <Files / !=/robots.txt !=/downloads/> AuthName "Restricted Area" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /var/www/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null require valid-user </Files>
Yes, but not using that syntax.
I basically want to require a password everywhere but on robots.txt and the downloads folder. I want to still require encryption and limit access by subnet on the downloads though just no password. robots.txt needs to be open to the world.
