   Hello there,

   I'm trying to password-protect my blog, and I'm running into a weird issue. I'm setting up basic apache authentincation in my .htaccess file as follows:

   AuthUserFile /home/anca/.htpasswd
   AuthName EnterPassword
   AuthType Basic
   require valid-user

   The blog now requires a login to access (as specified in the .htpasswd file) but now I can't use the Flash uploader to upload images. I get an "http error", without any sort or matching error in the apache error_log file.

   Also, posting and editing posts has become significantly slower.

   Removing the password-protection returns things back to normal.

   Does anyone have some better recommendation for how I can do this? Is there a trustworthy plugin that can do it?

   Thanks!

   Anca
