I love it. I think "Bob" won't like it very much though.
Can we extend this to apply to file uploads as well?
In the recent discussion, I suggested there might be some situations
where we want to allow users to by-pass PmWiki and browse the uploads
directory through their browser, but I feel if this user-auth system
could be applied to files and attachments as well, then it would be a
small price to pay to lose that "side-effect".
It's not like somebody couldn't write a cookbook module to emulate the
clean directory display that one would normally get by browsing the
folder directly through their browser.
I hope that made some sense :)
