I have a form which lets visitors submit information to make customized pages on my site. Information such as address and phone number.
I have three questions:
Is it possible to password protect my cgi-bin without prompting users for a username and password when a script is run in that folder? I don't want them to be able to access the folder by typing http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin. But I also dont want them to get prompted after submitting information from the form.
The script creates a page from a template. The template is in a password protected folder. Can the script create the page without the visitor typing in a username and password for the folder the template is in?
The script puts the created page in the 'pending' folder and sends the visitor to it so they can see their newly created page. I then decide wether or not to authorize the page. But I don't want people to be able to type in http://www.mysite.com/pending to see all the pages that are pending.
The same answer might be applicable to all three questions. Basically I want my scripts, template, and pending pages password protected when accessed from the address bar, but I want users to be able to create their page without being asked for my username and password when creating their page. Is this possible?
Thanks.
