      <h3>Apache HTTP Server Version 1.3</h3>
        <p><small><em>Is this the version you want?  For more recent
         versions, check our <a href="/docs/">documentation 
         index</a>.</em></small></p>

    <h1 align="CENTER">Access Control by URL</h1>

    <h2><a id="location" name="location">The
    <code>&lt;Location&gt;</code> Directive</a></h2>
    <a href="mod/directive-dict.html#Syntax"
    rel="Help"><strong>Syntax:</strong></a> &lt;Location <em>URL
    prefix</em>&gt;<br />
     <a href="mod/directive-dict.html#Context"
    rel="Help"><strong>Context:</strong></a> server config, virtual
    host<br />
     <a href="mod/directive-dict.html#Status"
    rel="Help"><strong>Status:</strong></a> core<br />
     

    <p>The &lt;Location&gt; directive provides for access control
    by URL. It is comparable to the <a
    href="mod/core.html#directory">&lt;Directory&gt;</a> directive,
    and should be matched with a &lt;/Location&gt; directive.
    Directives that apply to the URL given should be listed between
    them. <code>&lt;Location&gt;</code> sections are processed in
    the order they appear in the configuration file, after the
    &lt;Directory&gt; sections and <code>.htaccess</code> files are
    read.</p>

    <p>Note that, due to the way HTTP functions, <em>URL
    prefix</em> should, save for proxy requests, be of the form
    <code>/path/</code>, and should not include the
    <code>http://servername</code>. It doesn't necessarily have to
    protect a directory (it can be an individual file, or a number
    of files), and can include wild-cards. In a wild-card string,
    `?' matches any single character, and `*' matches any sequences
    of characters.</p>

    <p>This functionality is especially useful when combined with
    the <code><a
    href="mod/mod_mime.html#sethandler">SetHandler</a></code>
    directive. For example, to enable status requests, but allow
    them only from browsers at foo.com, you might use:</p>
<pre>
    &lt;Location /status&gt;
    SetHandler server-status
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from .foo.com
    &lt;/Location&gt;
</pre>
