Hi,
I am running Apache 2.2.24
I have a site protected by basic authentication
Ideally, I would like to be able to bypass that authentication on provision of a suitable query string, such that:
http://...../page.html asks for auth
http://...../page.html?secret=xxxxxxx does not
So far as I can see, this is possible in apache 2.4 using the below in a .htaccess file:
Require expr %{QUERY_STRING} = secret=xxxx
However, this does not seem to work in apache 2.2.4. Is this correct, and, if it is, is there an alternative (other than upgrading apache)
