Hi Thomas,

Thanks for contributing the documentation!  Both have been pulled into the main docs and should appear online after the next automatic build of the docs.

> I have created two new bugs in Launchpad with documentation for doing
> things at the Apache level. Because in both cases I couldn't decide
> where to put them in the regular documentation I am deferring to the
> experts for that, hence this email. Also, I figure that both could
> possibly belong in a new section of documentation as they both cover
> "things you can do almost entirely in Apache".

> The first covers some mod_rewrite tricks that MVLC has been using and
> sharing with others. I am unsure where to put it in the regular
> documentation, and I also figure it is possible that others may want
> to expand upon it before it becomes regular documentation.

> The second also contains the code it is documenting, a new
> AccessHandler module that uses the OPAC login page instead of basic
> auth. In addition to being able to protect things so that only staff
> can access them (via permission checking, say STAFF_LOGIN or similar)
> it can also be used to protect things for Patron access (say, proxied
> websites). Given that it could be useful in both cases I was again
> unsure where to put it in the regular documentation. In this case I
> duplicated what I had come up with for Release Notes and changed the
> header levels so that the Release Notes can be safely trimmed if
> desired.

> 
> Both bugs have been tagged with documentation and pullrequest, though
> obviously the AccessHandler one needs to also be looked over by a
> developer.
> 
> Feel free to ask me questions directly or via updating the Launchpad bugs.
