Opera question 6.01: Password prompt not offered:Solved

[Joel Hammer]

Sheez. Solved the problem. Don't know why opera 6.01 is different but
this is the deal. Two directories with password protection, one worked
and one didn't. Here they are:

<Location /andrew>
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Sorry-Members only"
        AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/secret.users
        require valid-user
</Location>

<Location /flags>
        Order Deny,Allow
        Deny from All
        Allow from 192.168.
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Sorry-Members only"
        AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/secret.users
        require valid-user
</Location>                

The /andrew directory worked and supplied the password prompt, but the
/flags directory would not. I had to add 127.0.0. to the Allow from line
in /flags to get opera 6.01 to work.
