Then you're screwed ;-) This can only be fixed in httpd.conf. Most sites (and the default apache configuration) now use "UseCanonicalName off" to avoid problems like this, so you might try asking your isp to change the configuration. Other than that, you might be able to do something obscure like putting your auth directives inside a <FilesMatch .+> ... </FilesMatch> section to try to prevent them from acting on the request before the redirect. I don't know if that will work or not. Joshua. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
