Thanks, I had actually just realized that might work :) Yes, putting this into .htaccess does the trick: *** <Files banned_ip.php> allow from all </Files> ErrorDocument 403 /banned_ip.php order deny,allow deny from 71.112.32.149 ***Now the real question is why, for http requests, it allowed me to view the banned_ip.php error message, instead of saying that a 403 error occurred while trying to follow the ErrorDocument directive. Apparently Apache applies some different set of rules to the two situations, and I'll be damned if I can find anything in the documentation that says why the two cases would behave differently. For https requests, Apache applied the .htaccess restrictions to the file listed in the ErrorDocument directive, and for https requests it didn't.

You put a <Files> section inside of a <Directory> section and allow all IP addresses to access it (order deny,allow ; allow from all) -- Eric Covener covener@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
