[9fans] httplogin

[Matthias Teege]

Moin,

I try to publish a directory tree via httpd with restricted permissions. The
problem is, it is a big tree with lots of directorys. Is it really necessary to put
a .httplogin in each directory? If so, what is the painless way?

Many thanks
Matthias

You could change httpd to look down the whole path to a file for a .httplogin and
make it apply to the whole subtree.  Might be a bit of a performance hit but
it would certainly be easier than copying it thousands of times.   If this
is something that multiple people would like, I'll add it or pick up
whatever matthias does.

yep. please. I don't need it so desperately that I
would do it myself, but I'd like to have that feature.

Ok, I'll try to patch httpd in this way.
Thanks
