[users@httpd] .thaccess
hi,
i would like to ask what happens when a user is downloading a large file from apache server and i modify (using PHP script) the .htaccess file affecting the folder where is the file beeing downloaded by the user. For example i rewrite the list of ips allowed to access the file/folder and i remove the user's ip. Will the tranfer be interrupted or not? If not, is there any other way how to interupt the transfer? Thank you for help.

No, the transfer will not be interupted. .htaccess files are read and
processed before the response is sent.
If you want to interrupt a transfer-in-progress, you'll need to
identify the process handling the request (perhaps using mod_status),
and kill that process.
A cleaner way would perhaps be to adjust the firewall settings on your
server, which should take effect immediately.
Joshua.
