Hi, I would like to restrict access the the basic CRUD ops via
htaccess. Requests for /item/list, /item/add etc would prompt the user
for their password. I was thinking I would create a new directory,
apply the htaccess settings, and put a dispatch script in there. But
then I would have to configure rails to look in multiple directories
for a controller (something I dont know how to do), and have two
dispatch.cgi files. What is the ideal approach to achieving security in
rails via htaccess?

Thanks!
