[LUAU] apache security question

[Jaymes Schooler]

Good point about the robots.txt file...As for mod_auth_mysql...I guess I
should have used mod_auth_digest as my example to be more correct..

What portable authentication types are there besides HTTP authentication
and cookie authentication? If you are referring to mod_auth_mysql, I
thought that was HTTP Basic authentication with a DB backend instead of
a flat file.

A robots.txt file will only keep out good bots. Otherwise, it is fodder
for the malicious ones.
