[cobalt-users] Limit and the .htaccess file

[Mike Vanecek <nospam99@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After reading the Apache doco and feel like I am sliding down the learning
curve. Cobalt puts the following in their Qube2 .htaccess files in their root
and subweb directories:

<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>

If I understand it (which I obviously do not or I would not be asking for
assistance), the Limit GET POST first denies all use of GET and POST and then
allows all use. Seems to me that is a null operation. Why bother to have a
deny from all and then an allow from all?

Also, if I understand it, the Limit PUT DELETE prevents anyone from being able
to delete the subweb. I can understand why one might want to prevent that from
happening by the user, but why not allow admin the rights to DELETE the
subweb?

I have read the manual, several times, but any clarification would be
appreciated!
