Description
Hi,
I protected a folder using "location" and auth_basic, it works well but if I try to direct download a file inside the folder, it doesn't prompt me for login & password.
Of course, I tried to direct download the file without auth'ing to the folder :P
Here is my vhost :
server {
...
location /folder {
auth_basic "Administrator Login";
auth_basic_user_file /path/to/htpasswd;
autoindex on;
autoindex_exact_size off;
autoindex_localtime on;
}
...
}

You were right, I had an extra location matching the file pattern.
Thanks !
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.

Make sure you have auth_basic enabled in other locations which can be used to access files in the folder. Common error is to configure auth_basic for a location, while not protecting access to the same files via locations given by regular expressions. If in doubt, use the
^~modifier to prevent checking regular expressions after the match, see docs for details.
