1 I'd like to have some pages of my wiki to be only viewable by some users.
3 I could use htaccess for that, but it would force the users to have
4 2 authentication mecanisms, so I'd prefer to use openID for that too.
6 * I'm thinking of adding a "show" parameter to the cgi script, thanks
7 to a plugin similar to goto.
8 * When called, it would check the credential using the session stuff
9 (that I don't understand yet).
10 * If not enough, it would serve a 403 error of course.
11 * If enough, it would read the file locally on the server side and
12 return this as a content.
14 Then, I'd have to generate the private page the regular way with ikiwiki,
15 and prevent apache from serving them with an appropriate and
16 much more maintainable htaccess file.
