Securing Your Web Pages with Apache Page 14

Apache provides a rich set of control mechanisms for protecting Web pages,
and continues to track emerging standards, such as the
Digest Authentication one, very closely. With care and a little
creativity, you should be able to easily apply whatever protections
you want to your Web site.

Got a Topic You Want Covered?

If you have a particular Apache-related topic that you’d like covered
in a future article in this column, please let me know; drop me
an email at
coar@Apache.Org>.
I do read and answer my email, usually within a few hours
(although a few days may pass if I’m travelling or my mail volume is
‘way up). If I don’t respond within what seems to be a reasonable
amount of time, feel free to ping me again.
