method,method,...:template: group,user,group,...
or some other syntax. Alternatively, you could specify the methods in
the rule file, but the access list seems a better place to me.
Also, could you clarify some thing for me? Regarding the <template>
specified in the protect rule of the rule file and also in each entry of
the access control list: Does this <template> refer only to files or can
it be a subdirectory - the latter indicating that the entire hierarchy
is to be accessible only to those in the corresponding user/group list?
Here are the pertinent references:
In <http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/AccessAuthorization/RuleFile.html> you
write
The protect rule has two forms unifrom with those of the pass rule:
protect <template>
The filename matching the <template> is protected...
and also in
<http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/AccessAuthorization/AccessControlList.html>,
template is the name of a file in that directory
