I just had an interesting question posed to me. Say you have a site that needs the usual generic http auth stuff. But say you have a few directories that you don't want to require credentials for. And pretend you can't use .htaccess.
AllowOverride All
AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Iz Sekritz, Shhh"
Require valid-user
Satisfy Any

Well, as many of you know, I work off of a Windows system for development ( a highly modified windows installation ;)). So, to enable, I just "enabled" the php_ssh2 lib. Easy enough right? WRONG! For this blog entry, I will discuss issues with BOTH implementations of this seemingly troublesome module.

Internet security is like urinating to windward. No matter what we do, we're never going to stop users from using a certain web browser, a certain mail client, a certain operating system, and opening every .exe or suspicious file that gets sent to them. That shouldn't stop our efforts, though. If there's one thing the Internet needs, it's more security.

During our searches for better ways to scale drupal, we stumbled upon Caucho Resin, a Java servlet container that provides a native Java based PHP5 interpreter. Resin can run as a replacement for Apache or lighttpd, or can work in cooperation with an httpd server.
