Joshua,

Thank you very much for your prompt response.

We try to avoid restarting the apache as few as possible,
so beside using the <location> in httpd.conf, are there any other ways to do this? Or any third part product that you know for this purpose?
Thanks again for your help!

Cairen

You can't use .htaccess to restrict resources that don't come from the
filesystem.

Instead, in httpd.conf, use <Location>. See:
