Re: [cobalt-developers] .htaccess

[Frank Baschin <frank.baschin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

that seems all okay.
Close your browser and restart the browser again.
I think than you will get the Username/Passwort prompting.

All browsers I know cache the authentification information of a side!
So you must stop/start your browser all time you make changes of
your .htaccess.
Also if you travel to a protected side twice a time you will NOT be
prompted for a password until you close your browser and restart
them again.
