Hi all, I was wondering if any of you have ever experienced a problem with .htaccess like the one I am experiencing. To be upfront, I am running a standard install of Mac OSX 10.5.7 with MacPorts and apache2/php5/mysql5 on a new Quad Core Xenon MacPro. Apache version 2.2.11
When I access a password protected page, it will accept the correct username and password. This is normal. What isn't normal is that I can also get to the page by using the correct username and password with anything else at the end of it! for example: password: helloworld will allow access, but so will password: helloworldthisismoretext and anything else for that matter. Not sure what the problem is but i've done everything I can think of to get it NOT to work that way. I have another server running almost the same configuration and it doesn't have this issue at all. Have any of you see this?
