<H2><A NAME="location">The <CODE><Location></CODE> Directive</A></H2>

<A
HREF="mod/directive-dict.html#Context"

<A

<P>The <Location> directive provides for access control by
URL. It is comparable to the <A
HREF="mod/core.html#directory"><Directory></A> directive, and
should be matched with a </Location> directive. Directives that
apply to the URL given should be listen
within. <CODE><Location></CODE> sections are processed in the
order they appear in the configuration file, after the
<Directory> sections and <CODE>.htaccess</CODE> files are
read.</P>
<P>Note that, due to the way HTTP functions, <EM>URL prefix</EM>
should, save for proxy requests, be of the form <CODE>/path/</CODE>,
and should not include the <CODE>http://servername</CODE>. It doesn't
necessarily have to protect a directory (it can be an individual
file, or a number of files), and can include wild-cards. In a wild-card
string, `?' matches any single character, and `*' matches any
sequences of characters.
<P>This functionality is especially useful when combined with the
<CODE><A HREF="mod/mod_mime.html#sethandler">SetHandler</A></CODE>
directive. For example, to enable status requests, but allow them only
from browsers at foo.com, you might use:
<PRE>
<Location /status>
SetHandler server-status
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from .foo.com
</Location>
</PRE>
