[users@httpd] FilesMatch does nothing
Hi
I run several servers and sometimes for some of them, directives in
FilesMatch seem never to be executed.
Problems come when apache is the frontend of other servers such as
tomcat or play framework, through mod_jk or mod_proxy.
Are there known issues about that ?
Some conflicts with mod_rewrite and/or mod_alias ?
Thanks
I run apache 2.2

I mainly take care of access control issues at the OS level and use
FileMatch or LocationMatch for HTTP header issues.
But I have definitely to take care of that.
Thanks again

Or to put this another way... Location and LocationMatch don't really
control access to resources, they control access via specific resource
names; they leave resources accessible via other names / means.
Directory and DirectoryMatch, on the other hand, protect the actual
filesystem resources.

expose a resource on a 2nd URL (or via some 'equivalent URL?') and

I should use LocationMatch everywhere, it will be less ambiguous for my
mind.
Thanks Eric

In Apache terms, these requests don't match any Directory or Files
containers because they're not mapped to any Directory or file.
Pieces of the URL aren't files.
Use Location/LocationMatch.
