RE: [Nolug] brain-dead Linksys (CISCO) engineers

Hi Joey.

Nginx doesn't have the Apache .htaccess file feature. I don't know about
others.

Btw - I seem to recall hearing that Cisco sold Linksys to Belkin (?) a while
back.

Check this out...

Any decent webserver is going to disallow access to HTTP AUTH .htaccess files,
for obvious reasons. Any programmer with even a modicum of sense is going to
put the .htpasswd file out of the path of the webserver, just like the docs
say. Not Cisco:
