Thanks for a reply joshua. Really? And can you give me an example of this? For a directory that requires SSL: <Directory "/var/www/localhost/htdocs/ssl"> SSLRequireSSL AllowOverride AuthConfig </Directory> But for a file? Does would you mean?: <File> "/var/www/localhost/htdocs/ssl/file.under.ssl.html"> SSLRequireSSL AllowOverride AuthConfig </File> --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
