htpasswd based on referer

[anups]

I have htaccess file from which I am calling htpasswd.

Currently its ask for authentication from everyone.

 

I want it IP based or Domain based so that a user requesting from specific IP may not have to go through http authentication.

 

Some domain calling the web pages in background like paypal OR  google checkout can access the page without http authentication.

 

Is it possible ?

 

content of htaccess file is given below.

 

AuthUserFile /var/www/web/.htpasswd

AuthName "Authorization Required"

AuthType Basic

<Limit GET POST>

  require user username

</Limit>

if i understand what you are trying to do correct, php has several function shat can get the ip address like

$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

.. and you can just bypass the login credentials and start your session for the user with their ip address as the credentials... hope this helps

I have to check rerefer and bypass some IP or host in .htaccess file not in PHP

Why do you need to do it this way? Just curious?

htaccess is controlled by apache not php.

so either, implement a system with apache authentication/bypassing

or

use php for authentication/bypassiing
