Password protect content

[Andrew S]

Hello,

I have a folder full of HTML files that will reside on a subdomain.

I would like to password protect these with user accounts etc.

Can this be easily completed with Django? is there any packages that already do this?

You might want to check out Apache .htaccess files for securing the files.
Django sounds like it might be overkill for password protecting files.

Hi Andrew,

Yes, and Yes.

The magic keyword you’re missing is X-SENDFILE - it’s a HTTP header that lets Django manage authentication, but your static file server handle delivering the actual content.

Here’s a blog post to show you how to set it up.

This is really cool, something I didn't know existed and something I will use immediately. Thanks.
