Hi Everybody,

 
Quick question: does anyone have any examples of implementing conditional
authentication in a module? I'd like my module to serve a file if public
access is granted, and challenge if not. I thought that it might be possible
to dynamically insert a require statement into a request config in order to
trigger the check_user and auth hooks.

 
Any suggestions or examples? Or is Apache locked into the "only the require
directive triggers auth and you can't dynamically change the config of a
request during that request"?

 
Cheers,

 
Ben
