Re: [tlug] htaccess, rewritecond, and wildcards!! [help!]

["David Bennett" <davidbennett1979@example.com>]

Ideally I was hoping to avoid having to type in a login and a password
each and everytime. I suppose I may have to switch to that, but I was
kind of hoping to setup an IP (or in this case a hostname) check, and
leave it at that!!

Is there not a system to add a wildcard to the condition? I suspect
there is, but my syntax is off.

Thanks
david
