I've got a wiki where editing requires [[plugins/httpauth]] (with
|
|
`cgiauthurl` working nicely). I now want to let the general public
|
|
edit Discussion subpages, so I enabled [[plugins/anonok]] and set
|
|
`anonok_pagespec` to `'*/Discussion'`, but HTTP auth is still being
|
|
required for those.
|
|
|
|
(Actually, what I'll really want to do is probably [[plugins/lockedit]]
|
|
and a whitelist of OpenIDs in `locked_pages`...)

Here is an attempt. With this httpauth will only redirect to the
|
|
`cgiauth_url` when a page is edited, and it will defer to other plugins
|
|
like anonok first. I have not tested this. --[[Joey]]
