Using ProxyPass exclude with directory containing .htaccess

[Paul <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've successfully been using ProxyPass to serve my application. I've 
excluded the 'common' directory using

ProxyPass /common/ !

However, if I put an .htaccess file in that common directory, it no 
longer excludes it from the proxy pass - the request is sent to my 
application where it gets a 404.

How can I exclude this directory from being proxied, and protect it with 
basic authentication?

Thanks.
