[cobalt-users] .htaccess and cgi

["Carrie Bartkowiak" <ravencarrie@xxxxxxxx>]

I can't find the darn post that I saw this on, it was just a day or
two ago.
Someone was having trouble with CGI scripts running slow on a RaQ2.
Someone else said his ran fine, and gave the URL to a script to
demonstrate.
Person one replied and said something like "I took a look at your
script, it doesn't have any 'USE' lines."

Question 1: How did you view the script's code?

Question 2: I've seen talk about how .htaccess isn't the most secure
way to protect a directory, and that 'advanced' users can get around
it. Being that I'm diving feet-first into the security aspect of
things, I'd really like to know *how* you can get around it - so that
I can (hopefully) keep that from happening. Can someone explain to me
how to get around a password-protect challenge?

If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.
Feel free to email me off-list so as not to add noise (and more noise
from self-moderators).
