Allow A Certain File To Override Htaccess?

[Leshaun]

Hi all. I'm using Postnuke, and it has an Htaccess in everything but the root folder. If you don't know how Postnuke works, it's a CMS in which people can add modules to the system for more features. I have a module that uses a Flash interface with AMFPHP. Here's the file tree

Root Folder --> Modules  (htaccess) --> My Mod   --> FlashApp.swf
                                    --> Services --> Remoting.php
Root Folder --> Includes (htaccess) --> ApiFile.php

First Problem: "FlashApp.swf" uses AMFPHP to access the "Remoting.php," but is denied by the htaccess file

Second Problem: Even if that is taken care of, "Remoting.php" needs to access "ApiFile.php"

So yeah, I'm screwed. I don't want to have to mess with the htaccess files used by Postnuke because that would defeat it's efficiency. To make users that may not have the knowledge rewrite an htaccess file is impractical.

I was wondering, could I make an htaccess file to put in the "My Mod" folder that could only allow "FlashApp.swf" and "Remoting.php" to access these folders? If so, could anyone guide me on this?

I've looked at tutorials and it seems as though it may not be possible, but one of the Postnuke guys suggested it to me (with no help on the subject, so it may have just been guess suggestion). If it is impossible, does anyone know a way around in which I wouldn't have to modify the htaccess used by Postnuke?

Thanks in advanced, I know this is long-winded, but I'm desperate here, people.

nothing is impossible. First I believe it is possible to write an allow command for a single file. That should not be a problem.

Keep this in mind. In the case of .htaccess files the child folder inherits from the parent but it can override the parent with anything it says different than the parent. For example if you have public_html/mods/display/ then the public_html/.htaccess would apply to every folder within the directory recursively. if you have public_html/mods/.htaccess that will still have all the rules from the parent folder, but will also be able to add specific rules for everything in the mods folder on down. As a result it makes it easy to make special exceptions to the rules.

Hope this helps

Thanks, man. So, would I use:

Allow from .mydomain.com/dir/otherdir/filetoaccessphp.swf

If that's the case, I'll try it out. Thanks again.
