   I need an htaccess guru!

   I'd like to create a special case that comes before/modifies the standard .htaccess line from a multisite install

   # uploaded files
   RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?files/(.+) wp-includes/ms-files.php?file=$2 [L]

   with an an AuthType call to protect a certain directory, using the standard

   AuthUserFile /path/to/passwd
   AuthName "Password Protected"
   AuthType Basic
   <Limit GET POST>
   require user USERNAME
   </Limit>

   Doable? The goal is to re-enable the usual apache <Limit> functionality which the first code snippet above circumvents. i.e., an .htaccess file in a blogs.dir/#/files directory is currently ignored.

   As a potential workaround, are there any hooks for affecting how ms-files.php works? Is there a way to, in my functions.php file, tell that script not to function for certain blogs or for certain URL patterns?
