Is it possible to configure Apache to do basic authentication for a URL that doesn't correspond to a physical location in the filesystem (e.g. because it is rewritten to be served by CGI)?
It appears that the authentication directives are only valid in Directory and htacces contexts, so I'm not able to password-protect a Location.
On a filthy hunch I tried creating the directory in the filesystem that would correspond to the URL, and password-protecting that via a Directory configuration block, but that didn't work.
