The problem with File_HtAccess right now is that the base class handles authentication, which is not .htaccess's sole purpose. File_HtAccess, I think, should handle parsing (and validating?) the file, and writing new/modified directives to it.

Huh? File_HtAccess does not do any authentication. It parses and writes .htaccess files and offer methods to add/modify directives to it.

What I meant was that the base class has methods to handle authentication-related directives. These methods should be in a class like File_HtAccess_Auth, especially if mod_rewrite directives will be in File_HtAccess_Rewite. As this package is extended to support more directives, it will become confusing to have authentication in the base class and all of the others separate. -- Marshall Roch http://pear.php.net/user/mroch
