password protected directory causing 401 errors for flash uploader

  • 772

I have quite a basic setup 

<Directory "/var/www/example.com/public">
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Restricted Access
    AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/users
    Require valid-user
</Directory>

This works fine except one aspect, i am using uplodify swfupload and it can't upload files because it triggers a 401 error.

Is there any way the uploader can bypass this?

  1. Turn off authentication for the upload folder:

    <Directory "/path/to/upload/folder">
    ...
    Satisfy Any
</Directory>

    You can also do it for only one file with Files directive.

    Another way is the pass session ID to the upload script.
