htaccess or some other server-level type thing is definitely my  
primary suspicion.
I just don't know what all to check!

Here's my current htaccess:

	AuthName "Protected Area"
	AuthType Basic
	AuthUserFile /home/content/m/y/u/myuserID/html/.htpasswd
	require valid-user
	
	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mydomain.org/$1 [R,L]

I got the ReWrite bits from apache.org.
Note: I'm happy to share my actual domain/user IDs offline, a bit  
wary of posting them to an archived list where I'm likely to dump  
essentially all other security info.  Ya know?

But the directory names et al are correct.  Read access works great.   
For pmwiki pages and other html.

Yeah that's admittedly overkill.
I'm just getting rather desperate to make ANYthing work.
