Hi. One thing I've been thinking about recently is security. I would
like to be able to assign different passwords to different levels of
a heirarchy, and to have the clearances be cumultive:
<root> Basic foo:bar
|
+----- <directory1> Basic grok:baz
|
+----- <directory2> Basic foo:pax
where to get to directory2 via a URL you'd do something like:
root/directory1/directory2
What I want is:
1) To get to directory2, you need all the name+password pairs
2) That when you move back up, you don't need to reauthenticate
This isn't directly related to HTTP, but is rather a server-side
issue. I was wondering is anyone has done this?
