[mod-security-users] Re: .htaccess, AUTH, and file access

[Peter <pet...@co...>]

I received this back from my hosting provider:

"Thank you for giving us that information. It appears that the
investigation is complete. We have determined that you are having problems
with password protection with your .xls files because you can not password
protect the .xls file extension with an .htaccess file in our shared
hosting environment, as it is processed by Tomcat."

Any ideas to circumvent this? Thx
