Ken Coar 6e5d24ac49 Changed colours from mnemonics to #rrggbb syntax, since some
older browsers (e.g., Mozilla 1.1) don't know the names yet.

<h2><a name="location">The <code>&lt;Location&gt;</code> Directive</a></h2>
<strong>Syntax:</strong> &lt;Location <em>URL prefix</em>&gt;<br>
<strong>Context:</strong> server config, virtual host<br>
<strong>Status:</strong> core<br>
<p>The &lt;Location&gt; directive provides for access control by
URL. It is comparable to the <a
href="mod/core.html#directory">&lt;Directory&gt;</a> directive, and
should be matched with a &lt;/Location&gt; directive. Directives that
apply to the URL given should be listen
within. <code>&lt;Location&gt;</code> sections are processed in the
order they appear in the configuration file, after the
&lt;Directory&gt; sections and <code>.htaccess</code> files are
read.</p>
<p>Note that, due to the way HTTP functions, <em>URL prefix</em>
should, save for proxy requests, be of the form <code>/path/</code>,
and should not include the <code>http://servername</code>. It doesn't
necessarily have to protect a directory (it can be an individual
file, or a number of files), and can include wild-cards. In a wild-card
string, `?' matches any single character, and `*' matches any
sequences of characters.
<p>This functionality is especially useful when combined with the
<code><a href="mod/mod_mime.html#sethandler">SetHandler</a></code>
directive. For example, to enable status requests, but allow them only
from browsers at foo.com, you might use:
<pre>
&lt;Location /status&gt;
SetHandler server-status
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from .foo.com
&lt;/Location&gt;
</pre>
