[ms4w-users] ms4w - Application protection with password

[E.Stefanakis]

Dear Jeff

I get back the HTTP 403 - Forbitten message...

I tried it with my application as well and I got the same message.
However, when I acceess this application (ITE) through a WMS URL

http://localhost/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=/ms4w/apps/ITE/htdocs/WMS/infocharta.map&SERVICE=WMS&VERSION=1.1.1&REQUEST=GetMap&LAYERS=nomos_irakliou,dhmoi_irakliou&BBOX=553530,3864020,653540,3925230&STYLES=&SRS=EPSG:2100&WIDTH=500&HEIGHT=306&FORMAT=image/png

it works without any authorization...

Thanks again for your assistance!

Emmanuel.
