Hi, I need to solve a problem in Apache and could not find a solution. So, we are using remote authentication for galaxy.myserver.edu. It is like a basic authentication in apache.

AuthType Basic

So I want to allow machine1 to access galaxy.myserver.edu/display_application without password.

On machine1 we have ucsc genome browser mirror and it needs to access to these files like below; When I try with wget on machine1

wget http://galaxy.myserver.edu/display_application/38ac7832780d5a98/ucsc_bam/mai...

But it is not working, I always get this error

Resolving galaxy.myserver.edu... Connecting to galaxy.myserver.edu ||:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 401 Authorization Required Authorization failed.

I allow those sites like below in httpd.conf but it is not working.

<Location "/display_application"> Satisfy Any Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from machine1.myserver.edu Allow from machine2.myserver.edu </Location>

Another thing; galaxy is working with proxy, since it is installed port 8080. I directed galaxy.myserver.edu to here. I defined it like below;

<Proxy http://localhost:8080%3E Order deny,allow Allow from all </Proxy>

So, everything is working good but ucsc mirror need to access these files served by galaxy without password.

http://galaxy.meyserver.edu/display_application/38ac7832780d5a98/ucsc_bam/ma...

when I write like below;

wget http://myuser:mypass@galaxy.myserver.edu/display_application/38ac7832780d5a9...

It is working. Thanks,
