Re: [cobalt-developers] .htaccess login with perl or php...

["njd 76" <njd76@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am running into the same problem. I would like a directory to be password 
protected by .htaccess. I want a client login area where a user can put in a 
username and password and it takes them to the proper directory and checks 
their username and password in the .htaccess to make sure they have the 
proper rights. Does anyone have any idea how to do this on a cobalt using 
PERL or C/++. I do not want to turn on ASP or Frontpage so they are not an 
option.

Any help...
