 * Hello,
    I run WP-Multisite (subdirectory-install)
 *  I have some dozen domains I host with a single WP-MS 3.1 installation.
    For 
   development and feedback from client, I usually HTTP-Auth Protect each Website
   till everything is as the client expects, then remove the 401-auth to make it
   world-viewable. With Apache .htaccess-config I can protect either ALL domains
   with HTTP Basic Auth, or NONE at al.
 * So I am wondering whether there’s a HTTP-Auth (401) Plugin available?
    So I can
   enable the auth on some domains only.
 * Is there any WP-plugin for this?

 * Hide it behind a login. Switch the privacy level when you’re done.
